'Love jihad': BJP approves proposal to remove Congress corporator from Indore Municipal Corporation

BJP councillors unanimously pass proposal to remove Congress corporator Anwar Qadri arrested for allegedly funding love jihad operations in Indore.

"All BJP councillors have been instructed to be present in the House on the day a proposal to terminate Anwar Qadri will be placed - Sumit Mishra"

Indore, Oct 6

BJP Councillors of Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) on Monday passed a proposal to remove Congress corporator Anwar Qadri, who has been arrested for allegedly funding to operation 'love-jihad' in the city.

BJP councillors led by Mayor Pushyamitara Bhargava, along with Indore (urban) district president Sumit Mishra, held a meeting at party headquarters in Indore and decided that a proposal to remove Anwar Qadri would be placed in the House of the Municipal Corporation.

Confirming the development, Sumit Mishra said the BJP councillors have unanimously passed this proposal in the meeting, which now will be brought before the House of the Indore Municipal Corporation in the next meeting.

"All BJP councillors have been instructed to be present in the House on the day a proposal to terminate Anwar Qadri will be placed in the House in the upcoming meeting," Mishra said while addressing a press conference in Indore on Monday.

Qadri, a Congress corporator from Ward No. 58 in Indore, has been arrested for allegedly funding members of the minority community to target, sexually assault, and religiously convert women from another community.

The case against Qadri originated in June when two men were arrested for allegedly raping and attempting to convert women. Their confessional statements led to Qadri being named in the case.

Qadri evaded his arrest for over two months after an FIR against him was lodged at Banganga police station on June 14, prompting Indore police to announce a bounty of Rs 40,000 on his name.

He was finally arrested in the last week of August. Earlier, Qadri’s daughter was also arrested in Delhi for allegedly aiding her father in evading arrest.

The Congress, which is the main opposition in Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC), is yet to give any statement on this issue.

Finally some action being taken! These kind of activities have been going on for too long. The police did good work by arresting him after he was on the run for months.

Why is Congress silent on this issue? Their corporator is involved in such serious crimes and they're not even commenting? This shows their double standards.

While the allegations are serious, I hope this isn't being used for political gains. The legal process should be fair and transparent. Everyone deserves a fair trial.

The fact that he was hiding for 2 months and even his daughter was involved shows this is a well-organized racket. Hope the investigation uncovers the entire network.

The safety of women should be the top priority. If someone is funding such crimes, they deserve the strictest punishment. No mercy for such people! 🙏
