Sri Ram Sene would not
permit in Goa
Panaji, Mar 17 (ANI):
Criticising the Sri Ram Sene (SRS) for its conservative ideology, Goa Home
Minister Ravi Naik, on Tuesday said the State Government would not permit
the saffron activists to set up its base here.
Talking to the reporters
here, Naik said, "The SRS will not find any takers here in Goa. We will
not hesitate in banning the outfit."
"These kind of outfits
should be nipped in bud. If they intend to indulge in moral policing here,
they would be dealt very seriously," he added.
Naik’s statement has come
after the SRS chief Pramod Muthalik’s announcement rally at Vengurla in
Maharashtra’s Konkan Region last week, in which he expressed interest in
starting a branch of his outfit in Goa.

Condemning the outfit
for attacking men and women in a Mangalore pub, Naik said, "Women are as
free as men to decide what they want. Who are we to indulge in moral policing?"
Muthalik, on Monday, was
even banned from entering Dakshina Kannada district for a year. Mangalore
is the headquarters of Dakshina Kannada district.
A group of 40 activists
of the Sri Ram Sene had barged into a pub in Mangalore on January 24 and
bashed up a group of young women and men, claiming the women were violating
traditional Indian values. Muthalik had also threatened to disrupt Valentine’s
Day celebrations. |
