}
public Pagereference newTask(){
PageReference pageRef = new PageReference('/00T/e?&WhatId=' + accounts.Id+'&retURL='+accounts.Id);
pageRef.setRedirect(True);
return PageRef;

Thanks for your helpHemdene.
Then,you will have to query the Task record and update the record with the Parent Id before update/after Update instead of using before insert/after insert.
Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future.
