Mangalore: Nearly 40 men allegedly affiliated with the Hindu hardliner group Sri Rama Sena gatecrashed into a pub in Mangalore and beat up teenagers.
Eight girls were injured, two of them seriously.
The Government has realised sharply to the incident with Women and child development minister Renuka Chowdhury likened the incident to Talibanisation. "This is Talibanisation of India, it will not be tolerated. I will approach the EC to disenfranchise the organisation involved in this and those associated with it. It is unfortunate that this incident comes two days before the girl child day. These people are not ready for the Republic of India."
The Sena says it will repeat such attacks despite the huge public outcry across the country.
"There are some activities going on here that spoil Hindu tradition. We've just shown our frustration at that assault on Indian tradition. We don't like such indecent behaviour and tried to stop it,” said Sri Rama Sena spokesperson, Dinakar.
But Congress sought to play it down. Part spokesperson Veerappa Moily said, “I can’t call it as a Hindu group. It’s an act of hooliganism. No people will be allowed to do that. Taking the law into their own hands won’t be allowed”.
The Mangalore police have arrested more than 10 people on charges of physical assault and criminal intimidation. The National Commission for Women has also stepped in
Mangalore has seen an increase in moral policing over the past one year, blotting the cosmopolitan image of this coastal city.
