Mangaluru : Sri Rama Sena Chief Pramod Mutalik alleged here on Sunday that efforts are on to target Sena activists and Hindu Mahasabha members and project them as persons responsible for murder of writer and the former Vice-Chancellor of Kannada University M.M. Kalburgi. Talking to reporters after a district convention of Sri Rama Sena Mr. Mutalik said, “We did have differences (with Kalburgi) over ideology and thoughts. But we will never take somebody’s life.”

He said Veeresh Hadapad, the Haveri District Sri Rama Sena convenor, who does not know driving or knows the use of pistol, was being projected as driver of Pranavananda Swami. The two were being questioned in connection with the murder.
