​Islamisation Camouflaged as Palliative Care

A task force is reported to be active in forceful conversion to Islam in Sreemoolanagaram, near Kaladi, the birth place of Adi Shankara. Unit of an organisation engaged in taking care of the old aged ones and the sick works there.

They find out the poor Hindu families for conversion. They lure them by means of financial assistance and temptations. Local Hindus complain that the second wife of a former Panchayat Councilor invites Hindu girls to her house and persuades them to convert into Islam. The latest conversion was of a school peon and his family. The eldest daughter of the couple is reported to be in an unknown shelter.

Reports suggest that several young men visit the institution in connection with palliative care unit. The natives suspect if they are connected with some banned Islamic outfits.

Their modus operandi is reported to be blackmailing the women getting in touch with them and then insisting for conversion.

The team, consisting of women, comes to the Hindu homes under the camouflage of pain and palliative unit. There are reports of several conversions of Hindus and Christians near Edakakndam temple area.

Secret inspection agencies of the police have not done any comprehensive inquiry.
Removing the pictures of the Hindu Gods from the Hindu houses is the first leg of conversion. Then come Quran studies. The next step is to ask the converts to perform namaz.

Men will be given white caps and women will be given purdah. About 10 girls have been taken to faraway places for religious studies. But, no inspection agency has taken this matter up. Parents are not ready to complain either, because, they are scare of the Islamic fundamentalists.
