Patna : Bajrang Dal workers staged a protest in Forbesganj area of Bihar\u2019s Araria district, burning an effigy of Bollywood actor Aamir Khan and alleging \u201clove jihad\u201d over reports about his relationship with Gauri Spratt.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, protesters wearing saffron scarves raised slogans against the actor and accused him of \u201crepeatedly marrying Hindu women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bajrang Dal leader Manoj Soni, in a video statement, said the actor\u2019s personal choices were \u201can insult to Hindu society\u201d and demanded government intervention. \u201cWhy does he always find love among Hindu women? Why not within his own community?\u201d Soni asked.<\/p>\n

A woman protester also said, \u201cIf he were a true Muslim, he would marry Muslim women.\u201d<\/p>\n

The remarks drew criticism online, with civil rights advocates saying marriage between consenting adults is a personal matter protected under the Constitution and the Special Marriage Act. Legal experts noted no law bars interfaith marriages.<\/p>\n

Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt, who has Anglo-Indian, Tamil-British, Punjabi and Irish ancestry, have not responded to the allegations. No legal action has been announced.<\/p>\n

The term \u201clove jihad\u201d is used by Hindutva groups to allege organised conversion through marriage, a claim critics say lacks evidence and fuels communal tension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
