Couple bridges great divide

A more typical line was taken by VHP leader Kalaben Patel, who said: 8220;Varsha will realise her mistake once she is thrown out by her husband. Probably she has inherited it, but we will still accept her if she comes back8221;.

Meman, who had till recently been in custody under PASA, was released by the PASA board after Varshad appeared before it and deposed in his favour. Taking a bold line, Varsha claimed she had been harassed by Hindu organisations who had kept her in their custody in a bid to dissuade her from continuing her affair with him. From Bardoli, she was taken to a camp at Ahmedabad, where futile attempts were made to brainwash her into changing her ways. She managed to escape.
