B D NarayankarBangalore: Karnataka chief minister B S Yediyurappa is mulling ban on pub culture in the state and taking stringent action against those taking law in their hands.
"Pub is not a part of our culture and in fact, this was the reason for the outrage in Mangalore," he said. The pub incident was unfortunate, but has been blown out of proportion
Asked whether he would ban Sri Ram Sene, he said that the banning of an organization will not solve the issue. "We need to take appropriate measures to prevent these incidents from occuring in future," Yediyurappa said.
If necessary, Karnataka would consider invoking Goonda Act for taking action against the identified accused who had beaten up women in a Mangalore pub, Yediyurappa said.
Responding to yet another query, the chief minister rejected opposition Congress''' demand for the resignation of State Home Minister. "In fact there is a larger conspiracy to tarnish the image of BJP in Karnataka," Yediyurappa said.
Meanwhile, arrested Sri Ram Sene chief Pramod Muttalik has lambasted BJP for taking action against Hindu organizations. "BJP has come to power on Hindu agenda and I urge BJP not to sacrifice Hindu outfits to protect the government."
