Mangalore, May 1: The State Human Rights Commission has asked Mysore Regional Commissioner to investigate and submit a report on the saffron shawl episode involving Chennappa Gowda, DK Deputy Commissioner and Seemanth Kumar Singh, Commissioner of Police, Mangalore.

The duo is also scheduled to appear before the Regional Commissioner on May 7.

Background

On December 11, 2011, a flood lit sports event had taken place at Sri Rama Vidya Kendra, Kalladka, near here, run by RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat. Mr. Gowda and Mr. Singh, who had attended the event as chief guests, were seen donning saffron shawls throughout the programme.

The act had attracted criticism from various quarters. Karnataka Komu Souharda Vedike (KKSV) had complained to the State Human Rights Commission, Karnataka Lokayukta, and Home Secretaries at both State and Centre expressing concern that such an act by two people in responsible positions may intensify the sense of insecurity among minorities and spoil the secular social fabric.

The State Human Rights Commission has acknowledged the appeal of the Vedike and accordingly the office of the Mysore Regional Commissioner will initiate investigation.
