Mangalore:Karnataka Komu Sauharda Vedike has strongly condemned a recent statement made by Swami Pranavananda of the All India Hindu Mahasabha stating that a Khadga Deeksha programme of distributing swords to 5000 youth will be held in Mangalore on October 25.
Speaking to reporters here, Suresh Bhat Bakrabail, District President of Karnataka Komu Sauharda Vedike said any such move to hold the programme would be against the laws of the land. He said possession of lethal weapons on the pretext of protecting Hindu Dharma, women and cattle is not acceptable.
He also suspected this to be a political ploy in the wake of the 2014 general elections and added any attempt to hold such programmes in the district may trigger tension. Bhat also demanded action against people who have planned such programmes.
