Mangaluru, Dec 22: Congress leader and food minister U T Khader has termed the formation of so called Hindu Task Force a political gimmick ahead of upcoming Karnataka Legislative Assembly polls.

Sri Rajashekharananda Swami of Sri Vajradehi Mutt in Gurupur near Mangaluru recently announced the formation of Hindu Task Force exclusively to prevent so called ‘love jihad’ cases across the state.

Replying to the queries of media persons on the seer’s move, Mr Khader said that many such task forces may be formed as part of election preparations by a party which intends to divide society on communal lines.

He also said that the police department will not allow anyone to take law into their hands in the name of religion or community.

The seer earlier had stated that the main responsibility of the task force is to identify and prevent 'love jihad' at the initial stages itself. “I have held two rounds of meetings with various Hindu organisations. The task force, which will also include 30 women, will be made functional in another week,” the seer said.

The task force will also involve doctors, psychiatrists, social workers and advocates," Rajashekharananda said, adding that the task force will be set up in all districts across the state in the next phase.

 Bengaluru, Jan 12: Two pilgrims from Bengaluru, who were siblings, drowned in sea off Auro Beach in Puducherry today.

The deceased have been identified as V Gauthman, 22, and his brother Vivek, 20.

Gauthman and Vivek were among a group of around 150 devotees from Bengaluru to the Adhiparasakhi temple at Melmaruvathur in Kancheepuram district of Tamil Nadu. They started their journey from Bengaluru in three buses on Friday.

After offering special puja at Adhiparasakthi temple and worshipping at a few other temples, they reached Auro Beach on Sunday afternoon. 

While they were having lunch on the beach, Gauthman entered the sea. He was caught in a huge wave.

Vivek, who tried to rescue his brother, too was caught in the wave.

Other pilgrims and fishermen began to search for them in fishing boats.

After an hour, their bodies were washed ashore, around two km from the spot.

The Auroville police retrieved the bodies and sent them for postmortem.
