The Kerala government’s firm stand in the Supreme Court on the subject of alleged ‘conversion, marriage and radicalisation’ and that it does not warrant investigation by the National Investigation Agency is heartening (“No rash of conversions in Kerala, State govt. tells SC”, October 8). Evidently interest in investigating such matters is intended to divert attention from the real livelihood issues. The undue thrust being given to investigate illusory fears over ‘love jihad’ is nothing but an attempt to give the right wing a foothold in a progressive State.
