Sanjay Bandekar, the Bharatiya Janata Party minister in Goa, is performing a 'mahayagna' tomorrow (Thursday) in his home constituency here, to give strength to the World to crush terrorism.

"It is also meant for peace to all the victims who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks in the USA as well as those who became martyrs in the recently fought Kargil war with Pakistan", said Bandekar.

The BJP minister will perform the 'mahayagna' in coastal Agonda village, on the beach, along with the local youth belonging to the Agonda Sports Club as well as other constituents.

Beginning at 11 am tomorrow, all those participating in the 'mahayagna' will shave bald (mundan). He has invited five Hindu priests from Gokarna in the neighbouring Karnataka state, specialised in performing the ritual.

Being the information minister, he has also involved the state machinery like his department to publicise the ceremony.

"My only wish is that the USA and other nations should gain enough strength to crush terrorism all over the World", says Bandekar.
