A Hindi WhatsApp message doing the rounds of a group called `Meem to Meem (Meem means Muslim) cautions Muslim girls about recharging their mobile phones. They should either get the recharge done at Muslim-owned shops, or buy coupons and do it themselves. Any method in which a Hindu shop owner writes down the phone number is fraught with danger, the message says. Thats because the shop owner passes on their number to the RSS, which then starts `operation seduction. The girl ends up converting and marrying a Hindu, who divorces her after few months. Spurned by her parents, she has no option then but to follow the RSS diktat and help ensnare other Muslim girls. Aam Aadmi Party member Zafar Ali Shaikh, administrator of the WhatsApp group, told Mumbai Mirror he has no idea who sent the message. He said he started the group during Ramzan to share religious sayings.“If such messages are posted, I will have to delete the group,“ Shaikh said. However, human rights activist Shakeel Ahmed, who received the two messages on his WhatsApp account, said he felt “sickened“ by both. “This is just a way by the men of both communities to restrict women. Inter-religious marriages should be encouraged with no conversion on either side.“
