Thiruvananthapuram, 12 March(HS): P C George, a seven-time legislator and a widely respected political leader of Kerala, made a startling disclosure on Tuesday about the rampant love jihad and narcotic jihad in the State.

“More than 4,000 girls have disappeared from Kerala over the last year, and all of them have eloped with Muslim youth. In Kottayam’s Meenachil Taluk, more than 400 girls have disappeared, and there are strong indications that prove that they have ended up as sex slaves in Syria, Jordan and Afghanistan. Kerala has become the biggest recruitment center for the ISI,” George told Hindustan Samachar on Wednesday.

George was one of the special invitees for the Monday meeting convened by Bishop Joseph Kallarangattu, the spiritual leader of the Archdiocese of Pala, to discuss the disturbing phenomenon of Love Jihad and Narcotic Jihad. “The agents who make the girls elope with them are getting political as well as official support and connivance from the State. The Bishop himself earned the wrath of Islamic fundamentalists when he alerted the Christan families in the State about the love jihad and narcotic jihad,” said George.

The Pinarayi Vijayan-led CPI(M) government had filed criminal cases against the Bishop for trying to create a rift and religious hatred between various communities in Kerala for coming out openly against love jihad and drug trafficking. Geroge himself has been victimized by the CPI(M), which filed a series of cases against him under the charges of “hate speech”.

George said he was disclosing with the support of data and information collected through official routes. “Please do not ask me the details of the girls who eloped with the jihadis and ended up in the Islamic countries as sex slaves, Ill furnish the details as and when the police and judiciary ask me for the same,” said Gerorge, who is rated as the real Leader of the Opposition of Kerala.
