"From the behaviour of Shatrughan Sinha, it appears that although he has joined the Congress, but has not yet resigned from the RSS," Congress's Lucknow candidate Acharya Pramod tweeted.
In a letter to the Haryana DGP, the commission sought details of the case and asked the police to book the woman under relevant sections as soon as possible.
In a live-in relation with a Muslim man, an 18-year-old Hindu girl last month submitted an affidavit to police that she was ready to marry the man “if only he agrees to convert to a Hindu”.
