Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Sadhvi Prachi slammed actress Swara Bhasker for marrying Samajwadi Party’s Fahad Ahmad and said that she could meet the same fate as Shraddha Walker, who was killed by her live-in partner in Delhi.
Sadhvi Prachi said that Swara should have seen the fridge before taking the decision to marry a Muslim man. She was referring to the sensational murder case where Shraddha’s body was chopped into 35 pieces and stored in a fridge before the accused disposed of the body parts in jungle.
“Probably, Swara Bhasker didn’t pay attention to the news of how Shraddha’s body was chopped into 35 pieces. She should have seen the fridge once before taking such a big decision. It is her personal choice. I have nothing much to say. But what happened to Shraddha can happen to Swara too,” the VHP leader said.
“Swara Bhasker has always been against the Hindu religion. I was sure that she would marry someone not from the religion. This has happened now. She has married a Muslim,” Sadhvi Prachi added.
Swara Bhasker’s marriage sparks debate
Swara Bhasker announced her engagement with politician Fahad Ahmad on February 16, triggering a massive debate on social media with Islamic religious scholars questioning the validity of the marriage under Sharia laws. Notably, Swara has not accepted Islam.
Swara and Fahad got married under the Special Marriage Act which allows Indian nationals to get married irrespective of their faiths.
Chicago-based Islamic scholar Yasir Nadeem al Wajidi took to Twitter to say that if Swara Bhasker is not Muslim and her ‘supposed’ husband is Muslim, this marriage is not Islamically valid.
“Allah says do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. 2:221 If she accepts Islam only for the sake of marriage, it is not accepted by Allah,” he added.
