A case has been registered against Sri Ram Sena leader Rajachandra Ramanagowda for giving a call to people to counter "love jihad" with "love kesari".
According to media reports, the case has been registered against Ramanagowda for inciting provocation with an intent to cause riot, and wanton vilification or attacks upon the religion, race.
Brandishing a sword during the Sri Ram Navami celebrations in Raichur district of Karnataka, the Sri Ram Sena leader had appealed to every Hindu activist to use "love kesari so that no love jihad happens in future".
Love kesari' favours Hindu youth wooing Muslim girls, just as some Muslim youth allegedly carry out love jihad' by courting Hindu girls, marrying them and converting their faith.
"You have to do it because in love jihad our girls are taken in their family and are made to roam around in black burqa in this summer. What is this? Will you let your daughters suffer that way? Should we give up our daughters," he had said from the podium amid cheers from the crowd.
He said every Hindu youth has to take this oath to start Love Kesari' so that there are "no instances of Love Jihad".
