Love jihad by Saeed Naqvi By Justice Katju

I love teasing people. And one of the persons I love teasing is my dear friend, the eminent Indian journalist Saeed Naqvi, who is 85 years old ( while I am only 79 ), and with whom I converse almost every day on whatsApp. 

When he was a young man Saeed saheb ( as I call him, as he is elder to me ) fell in love with a Hindu girl Aruna. They got married, and have 3 daughters, the eldest Saba also being an eminent journalist.

I often tell Saeed saheb that he has done love jihad, and he should return Aruna, sister of we Hindus, whom he had abducted about 60 years ago, to we Hindus, or face a criminal prosecution for love jihad. 

This statement is of course in lighter vein. But who knows ? Some bright guys, on reading this post, may actually file an FIR against him for doing love jihad !
