We will not allow Pub Culture in Karnataka: CM Says
29Jan2009 Filed under: Latest News Author: jaggyIn remarks that may rattle some feathers from Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Thursday said that he would not allow growth of ‘pub culture’ in the state but made it clear that people taking law into their hands will be dealt with firmly.
He also said that he will discuss the issue of banning Sri Ram Sena, the outfit accused in the pub attack case, in the state cabinet.
“We won’t allow this pub culture in Karnataka to grow. But on the other hand, those who take law in their hand will be dealt with very firmly,” he told TV channels.
His remarks came even as Sena chief and an accused in the pub case Pramod Muthalik reminded the BJP that they formed the government in Karnataka on the Hindutva plank and asked the party not to sacrifice Hindu organisations for the sake of expediency.
Yeddyurappa claimed that Sena has no connection with BJP. “That’s an individual organisation,” he said.
Replying to a question on the issue of banning Sena, he said, “We will discuss it with the police officers and I will discuss it with the cabinet.”
The police, he said, were also exploring the possibility of invoking the stringent Goonda Act against the pub case accused.
“Anyhow, we are not going to allow such incidents to happen again in the state. Nobody should take law into their hands and it is a very unfortunate incident. That is why I have taken immediate action and the situation is under control,” he said.
Its really a Very strange phenomenon indeed & unfortunate to see the CM of a state commenting so naively on serious matters like this. May be pub is not our culture but then is vandalism our culture Mr.Yediyurappa? If every issue is handled by these goons then why do we need you(govt)? Such loose comments will only inspire those goons to go for more rampages and nothing else.
We are equally shocked & utterly atrocious at the statement issued by the Karnataka CM in which again we fail to identify our culture. i am really curious to know what exactly is our “CULTURE”?? and who defines it.
This kind of a move is against the basis Constitution of ‘Democracy’. Agree it is not part of our age old rich culture. The world is changing and we need to accept it. Today a big percentage of people do shy away from the age old rich culture of India. This does not mean that we bully them and make them follow what we insist is right. This would happen in Afghanistan and not in the buzzing metropolis of Bangalore.
Mr CM needs to be pro-active in improvising security instead of making such remarks. He can revitalize the tradition in many other ways. I am sure he can be innovative and do that. This is not the age for this remark Mr CM. We are a open democratic country and to make such a comment you have to be in the past. This makes me think that there should be a national policy to ban any kind of communal violence and atrocities.

do we have to tell the state government when to act?
does the chief minister have to read a piece of paper and tell us what the police has been asked to do next?
why cant things be done spontaneously or be done before the damage has taken place?
will the viewers be able to see Pramod Muthalik the founder of ram sena and activists of the Sri Ram Sene molested on television?
these questions will never be answered and even if they are answered the girls who were molested will never be able to forget the incident.how is pramod muthalik justified by calling such an incident a “small incident”.he talks about protecting hindu culture and women,does he even know what he is talking.we have terrorists in our own country.By every act of cruelty to our own people,we disown god and hinduism.how can pramod muthalik call his sena “ram sena” when he and his people are behaving like ravan.hindus will be judged not by their tilaks,not by correct chanting of mantras,not by their pilgrimages,not by saffron dothies but by their ability to protect the women.
people like pramod muthalik are satans in disguise.people of india will certainly never deserve freedom,nor get it if they allow their noble religion to be disgraced by such saffron covered terrorists.
With due respect to the CM, I think you are trying to shield the Mangalore Attacks by attacking the pub culture in Bangalore or Karntaka. Even if you want to stop pub culture, this is not the RIGHT time to talk as you are in some way blaming the victims.
Pub Culture has been in Bangalore since many years and we never had this problem until last year onwards when first the Government stopped the band/music inside the bar, restricting the time out to 11:30 PM and now altogether abloishing the pub culture.
There are many other problems which you and your allied parties and Sena should look at namely -
1. HIGHEST CORRUPTION
2. POOR INFRASTRUCTURE
3. POWER
4. SANITATION
Shouldnt these problems should be taken by you and your men rather than hitting poor girls who wants to enjoy a couple of drinks at pub. If you are so concerned about the girls’ future, what abt hundreds of brothels where girls are forced into flesh trade and I am sure many customers are from your parties as well.
You do not have right to stop what we should do and what we should not do unless thats illegal. PUB isnt illegal and there is no rule a girl should not go to a pub. Remember you are FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE and OF THE PEOPLE and by doing goondaraj and then blaming the victims you are digging grave for your own party.
Dun teach us what to do, teach your party what they should do and not do. Just yesterday one of your MLA was found taking BRIBE worth 5 lacs from scrap dealer.
This reminds me of a famous dialogue from Raj Kumar (movie waqt):
Jinke ghar sheeshe ke hote hain, woh aauro par pathar nahin phekte!
