Mangaluru: Cops abort funeral procession; transport Deepak’s body secretly to Katipalla

Mangaluru, Jan 4: Even though Hindutva groups such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal had planned to take out a funeral procession of Deepak Rao, who was hacked to death yesterday, the police foiled their bid by secretly transporting the mortal remains in an ambulance to the house of the victim at Katipalla on the outskirts of the city on Thursday morning.

When the saffron activists came to known that the police shifted the dead body without their knowledge hundreds of them gathered in front of Deepak’s house and prevented the police from shifting the body from the ambulance to the house. A tense atmosphere has prevailed in the region. The activists are exerting pressure on the police to take the dead body back to the hospital and allow them to hold a procession.

Meanwhile, police have clamped prohibitory orders under Section 35 of Karnataka Police Act in the entire commissionerate limit till Thursday 10pm. Any procession will be considered violation of law during this period.

According to sources, the BJP and other right wing organisations had asked city police commissioner T R Suresh for permission to take out a funeral procession from AJ Hospital to Katipalla, a 15km stretch on the national highway. However, the top cop denied the permission considering that procession may lead to a law and order problem like in the past and result in a communal violence.

In the past many funeral processions taken out by the Hindutva groups had led to communal riots in Dakshina Kannada. In July 2017, the Hindutva groups had taken out a funeral procession of a slain RSS activists even though police had denied permission for the procession. This had led to communal tension in various parts of the district.

New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs of Government of India today clarified to the Lok Sabha in a written reply that the so called “Love Jihad” is not defined under the extant laws and no such cases have been reported by any central agency.

It was ministry’s formal response to questions about whether the central government is aware of the observation of Kerala High Court that there is no case of Love Jihad in Kerala.

“The term ‘Love Jihad’ is not defined under the extant laws. No such case of ‘Love Jihad’ has been reported by any of the central agencies. However, two cases from Kerala involving interfaith marriages have been investigated by the NIA,” said the reply.

Communal and anti-Muslim political outfits backed by a section of media often use the term “Love Jihad” to accuse Muslims of marrying Hindu and Christian girls and then forcing them to change religion. Dr Hadiya’s conversion was also termed ‘love jihad’ by the BJP and media. The Supreme Court finally ruled that it wasn’t.

In January 2020, an influential Catholic Church in Kerala had said that “love jihad is a reality” and alleged that scores of women from Christian community from the southern state were being lured into the trap of Islamic State and used in terror activities.

The Viswa Hindu Parishad (VHP) had welcomed the Church statement and called for a united fight against ‘Love Jihad’ in Kerala Society.

The response comes weeks after the MHA, responding to an RTI query, said it has "no information" concerning the 'Tukde Tukde Gang' -- a term that has been used a number of times by PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to attack opponents.

The RTI application was filed by activist Saket Gokhle on December 26 last year. In his RTI application, Saket Gokhle said Home Minister "Amit Shah addressed a public event in New Delhi, and in his address said, 'The Tukde Tukde Gang of Delhi needs to be taught a lesson and punished'." Gokhle's RTI asked for details of the 'Tukde Tukde Gang'.

The home ministry, in its reply to Saket Gokhle's RTI application, said, "Ministry of Home Affairs has no information concerning tukde-tukde gang."
