Women Leaders Detained at Lucknow For Protesting “Love Jehad” Ordinance

Some eighty years ago, Ambedkar had warned us 'if Hindu Raj becomes a fact, it will, no doubt, be the greatest calamity for this country' and he could not have been more prophetic.


CPIML has strongly condemned the detention of women leaders by the UP police as they were distributing pamphlets against gender violence and the “love jehad ordinance”. The detained leaders include AIPWA leader Meena Singh, AIDWA leader Madhu Garg, women’s rights activist Naees Hassan and others. This is a repressive action to smother democracy.
