UP: Nuns heckled, forced to get off train in Jhansi over 'forced conversion', Amit Shah vows action Last Updated : 24 Mar 2021 03:22:37 PM IST Members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), who allegedly heckled and forced two nuns and two novices to get off a train in Jhansi district, are now in the midst of a major controversy.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has promised action in the matter. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan wrote to Amit Shah seeking strict action in the matter.The ABVP members had accused the nuns and novices of carrying out religious conversions.The four were allowed to proceed only after an inquiry at the railway station established there was no conversion involved.The ABVP is the student's wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological mentor of the BJP."Those involved in the Jhansi nuns' harassment incident will be brought before the law," Amit Shah told reporters in Delhi on Wednesday.According to reports, the incident took place on March 19 when the nuns were travelling on the Haridwar-Puri Utkal Express.A 25-second video from the train compartment shows the women surrounded by some men, some of whom appear to be policemen."Go get your luggage. You will be sent home if what you are saying is correct," a man is heard saying while another is heard saying, "Why are you indulging in netagiri?""Arre what netagiri. Chaliye madam. Jaldi uthao samaan," the third man is saying.Naeem Khan Mansuri, the Superintendent of Railway Police in Jhansi in a detailed statement said: "There were some members of the ABVP who were returning from a training camp in Rishikesh on board the Utkal express to Jhansi."Four Christian ladies were travelling on the same train from Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi to Rourkela in Odisha. Two of them were nuns and two were under training. These members of the ABVP suspected that these two nuns were taking the other two women for conversion because the nuns were speaking to the other ladies."They informed the Railway Protection Force that then informed the railway police. These ABVP members also gave a written complaint about conversion. I reached the spot and made inquiries. These inquiries revealed that the two other women were from Odisha's Rourkela and were under training."We checked their certificates and both had 2003 baptism certificates and this proved both women by birth were Christian and that no conversion was involved. After this we sent all four women onwards to their destination in Odisha."When contacted on Wednesday, the SP, however, did not respond to calls.IANS Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) For Latest Updates Please-
