<b>Better grill Mahesh Bhatt or else.....
</b>
Hindu organisations on Wednesday warned of fiery protests if film producer Mahesh Bhatt was not interrogated for his son Rahul's 'connections' with LeT operative David Headley.
"Mahesh Bhatt should be interrogated by the top investigation agencies and not the police," Dhananjay Desai, chief of Hindu Rashtra Sena, said. "If it is not done soon, you will see what we can do."
Desai spoke to DNA after presiding over a meeting of other like-minded Hindu organisations. Pramod Muthalik of Shri Rama Sene (Bangalore), Tapan Ghosh of Hindu Samhati (Kolkata), and Arjun Sampath of Indu Makkal Katchi (Chennai) were among the others who attended the meeting.
The Shiv Sena too came down on Bhatt. "Rahul may have had limited connections with Headley. But one thing is clear -- even Mahesh Bhatt is caught in the mud," read an editorial in Saamna, the Sena's mouthpiece.
"Mahesh Bhat and his camp call themselves secular by putting Hindus in the dock. And because of this they sometimes get awards and invitations from the Pope. But when they themselves get a shock of terrorism they start crying saying they are innocent."
The Hindu organisations alleged that Muslims were forcing their Hindu wives to go for jehad. "We have noticed that Muslims men marry Hindu women by either pretending to be an honest and sober person or by threatening them," Desai said. "After marriage they use the women for terror activities. More than 4,000 such cases have been registered all over the country."
Desai and his colleagues have planned protest marches against 'Love Jehad'. "We do not believe in signature campaigns," he said. "We will march to every collector's office and then to the mantralaya demanding stern action against the love jehadis."
Desai had led an attack on Star News in 2006 for telecasting a story which, he argued, showed a Hindu girl who was forcefully married to a Muslim in bad light.
Muthalik was in the news in March after workers of his Shri Rama Sene attacked women in Bangalore for visiting bars and pubs.
