Bindu had earlier sought a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the conversion of her daughter and similar incidents.Thiruvananthapuram: Mother of Nimisha Fathima, a Kerala woman suspected to have joined terror outfit Islamic State, has informed the National Women's Commission (NCW) that there was little clarity on what actually happened to her daughter.
"I still don't know what happened to my daughter? I raised my concerns with the commission," Bindu, who met acting chairperson of the NCW Rekha Sharma on Wednesday, told reporters.
Nimisha was a final year dental student in Kasaragod when she met and got married to a Christian youth, who later converted to Islam along with her. They are among the 20-odd people missing from Kerala and believed to have joined the Islamic State fighters in Syria. Bindu had earlier sought a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the conversion of her daughter and similar incidents.
Forced conversion centers in Kerala: NCW
The NCW had earlier stated that it would recommend the closure of all centers in Kerala where forced religious conversions are taking place. “This would cover such centers run by all religious groups,” Rekha Sharma said after a meeting she held in Kozhikode.
Sharma said she would provide a copy of her report to the state government also. She claimed that an alarming situation exists in the state, where women, including underage girls, are subjected to forced conversion.
She said the NCW has received several complaints on forced conversion from all communities during her two-day visit to Kerala. She will meet the state police chief in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday and discuss the matter.
