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

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
