Below is the full version of SK Sajeesh’s Facebook post:
Secular marriages will be encouraged; love jihad is a fabricated lie: DYFI
The controversy that arose following the marriage of DYFI Kannoth Regional Secretary Comrade Shejin MS and his partner Joyce is unnecessary and unfortunate. The marriage of two adult couples is, of course, their only private matter. DYFI’s declared position is to support those who love each other and want to live together, regardless of caste, creed or gender. Secular Matrimony Website to Promote Secular Marriages! *! DYFI is a movement that started and supported secular marriage.
DYFI has many leaders in Kerala who have set great examples of secular married life. The term ‘Love Jihad’ is an agenda deliberately framed by established forces to erode Kerala’s secular cultural heritage. Hon’ble Chief Minister
Pinarayi Vijayan himself has made it clear in the Assembly and in public that there is no such thing as love jihad in Kerala. Established communal interests to construct such issues in the public consciousness
Trying should be taken seriously. Comrade Shejin and Joyce are an example of secular marriage and an example to the youth who keep a sense of progress in the present age where religion seeks to tighten its grip on extremism in art, politics and all spheres of life. DYFI will provide all possible support to both.
