Members of the right-wing religious group, Hindu Mahasabha, have warned of consequences if artists from any other communit🐼y apply Mehendi on the hands of women in Muzzafarnagar, Uttar Pradesh ahead of Karva Chauth.
Vikram Saini, BJP MLA from Khatauli, said that youth from a certain religious sect have other things in mind in 'the guise of putting Mehendi'. According to a report by India Today, he said, "They cond♑uct love jihad under the guise of this [mehndi work]. There have been many such cases. My request [to Hindu women] is to apply mehndi at home or from shops and beauty parlours opened by our community members."
Meanwhile, members of Vishwa Hindu Par💧ishad (VHP) opened 13 Mehendi stalls with Hindu artists for putting Mehendi on women. They have ensured to cross-check their religion via their Aadhar Cards.
The Hindu-right wing members have requested women to visit people from 'their own community', who would understand the significance of the Hin🌄du festiv🔯al.
Karva Chauth i🔯s a Hindu festival where women fast from sunrise to sunset to pr𒈔ay for the long-lives of their husbands.
