'Hindu Task Force' set to tackle 'Love Jihad'

Mangaluru: Under the leadership of Rajashekarananda Swamiji of Vajradehi Math, a new task force – ‘Hindu Task Force’ is being set up to keep an eye on lovers belonging to different religions. ‘Hindu Task Force’ is conceived as a measure to effectively block the influence of ‘Love Jihad’.

The objective of this task force is said to be stopping Hindu girls from falling prey to latent designs of ‘Love Jihad’ activists. Hindu organizations have been insisting that Muslim youngsters have been trapping Hindu girls through ‘Love Jihad’.

There have been assertions that many ‘Love Jihad’ cases are happening in and around coastal city. A recent case that can be cited as an example is that of Priyanka from Moodbidri. There have been several cases in which girls and boys of different religions elope without giving the slightest notion about their plan to their family.

This task force will comprise of advocates, psychologists, social activists and workers of pro-Hindu organizations. They will keep a close watch on the movements of lovers from different religions. The aim of the task force is to separate these lovers by bringing a psychological transformation. 

The Swamiji said that this task force will be operational in both Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.
