Tejasvi Surya, Pratap Simha congratulate Danish Sait on inter-religion marriage
Twitter users call out hypocrisy on ‘Love Jihad’
Bengaluru: Standup Comedian and satire artist Danish Sait on Thursday took to his official Twitter account to share the news and pictures of his wedding with Anya Rangaswami. Danish sought blessings of people on micro-blogging site as the couple embarked on the new journey.
Several celebrities including Anushka Sharma, Sunita Kapoor, and actor Siddharth wished the newlyweds and congratulated them for their wedding.
What caught the eyes of netizens was however the congratulatory messages shared by BJP MPs Tejasvi Surya and Pratap Simha, both of whom are considered to be hardcore Hindutva advocates against Love Jihad, a concept popularized by right-wing organisations.
Pratap Simha wrote “Congratulations Bro” on Danish’s post while Tejasvi wrote “Best wishes. Wish you a very happy married life, brother.”
Danish thanked both the legislators for their wishes by commenting back to their reactions.
Twitter users were, however, quick to note the reaction of the two young BJP MPs and called out their hypocrisy on “Love Jihad” issue. Users slammed the duo of falsely implying and propagating “Love Jihad” when a common man gets into an inter-religious wedding while they congratulate the couple if they are friends with them or if it’s a celebrity.
Users also questioned the credibility of their “Love Jihad” campaign. A few right-wing users also slammed the two MPs and asked them to step down from the BJP as they claimed the duo was supporting an anti-agenda of the party.
Anya and I exchanged rings today in the presence of 15 of our closest family & friends, following our registered wedding yesterday. As we embark on this journey of love and togetherness, please bless us and send us your love. pic.twitter.com/TQ4jdszvet

Fake notes with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them send police into tizzy in Sirsi
Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.
Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.
Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.
Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.
The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.
The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.
A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
