Bangalore: Advani Terms Mangalore Pub Attack Against Indian Culture


Bangalore: Advani Terms Mangalore Pub Attack Against Indian Culture

Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore (GA)

Bangalore, Feb 28: Facing voters in the election is the only thing that sends shivers down the spines of the political leaders. It is the ultimate litmus test that every politician tries to avoid. And those who cannot shun elections, finally resort to people-friendly schemes, voters-friendly statement etc. Here is another classic example of the same.

The Mangalore pub attack which attacked not only the national but even international news headlines was used by major political parties to suit their political agenda. Since the attack was carried out in a BJP-ruled state and the perpetrators of the crime were linked to BJP, the Left parties led by Congress have left no stone unturned to nail BJP. But sad part is that even Congress did it just to gain political popularity and not because it is concerned about women.

 

Meanwhile the BJP had managed to divert the entire issue by linking it to Indian culture, knowing well that only religion and culture can be its saviour. Eversince the attack, BJP and its supporters had stood by their opinion that pub culture was against Indian culture, conveniently sweeping the real issue of attack on women under the carpet.

But now the entire issue has taken another twist after top BJP leader and its candidate for the coveted post of Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani on Saturday February 28 condemning the attack on young women in a Mangalore pub by members of a rightwing Hindu group as a violation of Indian culture.

Speaking to the media after addressing a mammoth rally in state capital Advani said "I strongly condemn the attack on women in Mangalore pub. There can be no compromise on this. It is wrong and against Indian culture and belief. I do not say that everyone needs to have single view point. Every individual is entitled to have his own beliefs and ethos. It is the same with young men and women visiting pubs. Some may approve of it and some may not. But attacking someone just because he or she does to align with your conviction is totally wrong. Everyone needs to condemn it."

This statement from the top BJP gun has surely put state BJP government in a fix. Now it needs to be seen as how the government will respond to Advani's views. One should really hope that this is not just a poll gimmick by veteran and respected BJP leader.

      Dear Mr. Prashant Poojary, MUMBAI/DUBAI - The language and tone of your comments adequately reflect your culture and intolerant attitude, same as shown by SRS and BD. It appears that you have deserted Karnataka and India and are even ashamed to refer to your hometown!!??. As, Mr. Joseph Gonsalves and Mr. Michael Lobo have already echoed my thoughts and sentiments I have only one thing to say to you “Grow Up” do not be naïve and childish.

      Prashant Poojary , Mumbai - Dubai Your comments has everything, starting from condemnation of beating of girls to closing down bars and also whom the Christians and Muslms and Dalits should vote.

      Well. Now let me try to figure out some order in your chaotic statements. I had written extensively my views but unfortunately they do not get published. BJP as a political party has emerged as a party filled with only higher class and higher caste hindus with fraction percentage from other communities and faiths who do not have much say in the political/governance affairs.

      As a result BJP walks the path of hindu thinking (both extremist and moderate) without giving any space to other views. But India is diverse in culture, faiths, languages, any many more traits. One should take into account all walks of people when the question of governance and democracy comes up. BJP is trying to accommodate non-hindus but its non-constitutional adherence to hindutva neglecting other views makes non-hindus difficult to join BJP.

      Let people follow what they want and they have every right to practice their views within the framework of Indian Constitution. Give respect to individuals irrespective of their way of living. Stop hating people. Do not gauge everyone using hidutva when the question of governance comes.

      I will vote to that party which has represents every citizen of India. Secondly, all hindus have condemned the attacks on women. BUT there is no justice done to catch the attackers and punish them severely and banning the organizations.

      What we witnessed is BJP governments attitude to support hindu organizations by not taking punitive measures. What they did is doing lip-service, making token arrests and letting the goons to roam free. Every incident was masterminded to raise the issues for debating. But whatever issue has been raised through these attacks is well within the fruits of constitution.

       I would be happy if every pub owner including the hindu owners license is canceled. Vijay Malya also pay the price for it. I also would like to see every Man barred from drinking alcohol irrespective of caste and creed.

      Can it be done transparently ? Why just to cancel Amnesia pub license ? There are many pubs working in similar lines owned by elite hindus. Can government apply same rules to every bar ? I see hypocrisy and biased administration. I lost faith in BJP governments because they divide people and rule. Stop dividing people and be neutral when you are elected as a servant of people. Government must be secular.

      Dear Prasanth, yes that was the mistake committed by the Christians for the first time, by voting for BJP in majority and suffering in result now. You are right since the Independence Christians were opposing communists, BJP did not exist then. Mistakes committed by Mrs. Indira Ghandi, made Christians vote for Janatha Party in 1977 which did not last long. Present created calamity made not only Christians but every educated citizen to understand reality. You too think it over for good.

If you are not interested, stay away. Those who are interested let them go to pub. Simply do not arrive at false conclusion that pubs are place of drinking and stripping.

Hindus always oppose attacking girls and even encouraging them to adopt pub culture are 2 different things.Sri Ram sena has every right to propagate their thinking but has no right to beat or touch the Girls.It is barbaric.But the govt has every right to discourage Pub culture .They should close down the pubs and Bars.Family Girls have every right to drink and strip but better let them not excercise their right .Let first renukas and dixits allow their family girls to do that.It is the parents duty to bring up the girls and boys in cultured manner.I would suggest Schools ,colleages,Companies should bring in dress code.

      Dear Mr. George Cruze, Administration of any country will see first consequences rather than jumping to attack. The adversary may cause considerable damage by attacking the cities where the civilians dwell. Presently we are the fourth largest economy in the world and before taking further steps let the diplomacy have a chance. This was similar while bjp (NDA) in power and they did not attack but tried to have good relations with Pakistan. Secondly, compared to national security bjp is no match to congress.

      After one month Mr Advani ? I am always intrigued by Mr Advani trying to have it both ways. As an opposition leader he willfully violated supreme court strictures and demolished a mosque with brazen contempt for law. But when he was the home minister later on he expected everyone to follow the rule of law. Mr Advani you are not Mr. Vajpayee, you are not in the same league as Mr Vajpayee, you are not in the same class as Mr Vajpayee. You are desperately short on credibility Sir.

      How can a prime ministerial candidate sleep on a important issue like attack on women for a month? Do we need a hibernating Prime minister? He is hibernating for the second time in last six months which is unfortunate. Any educated, peace loving, civilized and above all women will accept him as a Prime minister?

      We all thought that BJP would work for the development, but they proved us wrong. Their hidden agenda is very clear to every one now. Tax payer’s money goes to God now which God will never accept. Who knows in the name of God where it goes?

Look at the way Mr. Advandi stretching his hands forward? Please go back to the pictures of Hitler era "Hail Hitler". Among politicians of India, Advani is very close in political strategy and demagoguery to Hitler. If anybody has doubt, please read a few pages of Hitler's biography.

      Many staunch BJP supporters, who are well educated, are deeply hurt at the attacks on women, even though Church attacks hasn't created a dent in their belief in BJP. I have many BJP friends and one of them was saying to me yesterday that he is a katta BJP and he admires Vajapayee. He voted to BJP thinking of development of the state in mind.

      But after getting to power, they are just busy with implementing their hidden agendas, instead of addressing the issues of whole state, yeddi has assumed the role of a swamiji and he is doing totally nonsensical and unconstitutional work as a CM of Karnataka. If he wants to do such work he should become a swamiji and then do, but he cannot do religious roles of swamijis as a CM .

      Today when my sister wants to go out, she is fearing a lot to go alone. Rama Sena and other groups inspired by the hate-campaigns are not sparing our sisters also. Even though we support BJP but our own girls sometimes may be attacked as they do not wear a identity band on their forehead, stating their allegiance to BJP. There is every possibility that our sisters also can come under attacks by these goons. My parents are worrying more about their daughters safety.

      Yeddi is dividing the people. Stop dividing.  I will never support BJP. I was pained to witness attacks on girls, which shook me as a civilized citizen. So far I was having good opinion on BJP. Now I am angry with them. They are crooked and follow divide and rule policy by dividing people. During congress rule also Rama Sena and Bajaranga Dal groups existed but they never could raise their heads as there would have been a strict action on them.

      These are the precise gist of views my good friend proclaimed. I am sure many thinking BJP supporters would feel the fear in society as a direct consequence of encouragement to Rama Sena/Bajaranga Dal type of goons. He was also saying that it doesnt matter THE QUALITY OF VOTES but QUANTITY MATTERS. So still dividing people (WHICH IS A CRIME) will get BJP to power. We need QUALITY VOTERS to dethrone fundamental elements.

He might be bane for the Indian politics but we should accept him as an Indian and he has the right to talk whatever he feels because we live in democratic country. Please don’t forget that our PM is also born in Pakistan and even UPA chairperson & Congress party president is from Italy. We should not be biased on our comments.

      It is a strange thing about Indian culture quoted by Advanji. When Christian Churches were attacked by the so called saffron leaders and destroyed the secular fabrics of our Constitution there was no comment from the so called Prime Ministerial candidate.

      When the Babri Masjid was demolished because of the leadership of Advani what was ultimate gain to him which has resulted with perpetuating animosity and distrust among peace loving people belonging Hindu and Muslim community. All the recent comments from the top brasses of the so called party leaders are nothing nut to catch the fish in the troubled waters.

If some one does it, he is following the true Indian culture, which you cant see in western countries. Am I right Mr Advani?

      Our politicians currently do not appear to be having any constructive issues. They are giving us useless lectures on Indian Culture and Morals instead of concentrating on the real issues of development, education, infrastructure and unemployment. It is very true that people of Karnataka voted for BJP because they wanted change.

      However, they wanted change for the BETTER and not for WORSE and no one ever imagined that there would be such a gross failure of law, order, justice and human rights. Now thanks to BJP, Karnataka is trying to compete with Bihar and Orissa to get branded as a lawless state. It is up to the people to decide whether they want to have such an inefficient government at the centre.

The alternative viable and winnable party is probably the UPA. But the UPA has already proved its inaction/incompetence in dealing with the recent Mumbai terror attacks. The people of Karnataka wanted a change and that is the reason they elected BJP.

      Mr. Advani, Pub attack was not the only incident created by the Sangh Parivar in Mangalore. Poor Muslim cattle traders were attacked several times. Even strip naked an old Muslim man & his son and brutally assaulted them, then published their photo in the newspapers. Several churches, priests, nuns & devotees were brutally attacked & not even spared the most famous Milagres Church.

      Mixed community children going to ice-cream parlour, college tours, traveling by bus were brutally assaulted. Owner & guest of a private function were murderously attacked. There are so many such incidents perpetrated by the Bajrang Dals & Shiv Seniks in South Kanara & Udupi Districts.

      These incidents did not get any national media attention hence Advani conveniently ignored them. Advaniji kindly highlight this when you visit Mangalore & order your Home Minister Acharya to charge sheet all those culprits.

      Advani, we do not need your condemnation on these pub attacks of mangalore. We all know what you are capable of, and your uncanny knack of dealing with communal issues.It took you more than a month to do what you did today. If useless people like Muthalik have gathered courage to commit such acts it is only because of your so called "blind eye" in the past.

      You & your useless bunch of party members take sides to conveniently suit your own hidden agenda. And, mind you ,so is every other political party whether it is congress or JD or BD. People like you have today taken our country to the dogs & I believe that one day the almighty will show goons like you their rightful place.

      I do not place my faith in useless bunch of politicians like you who open their mouths while campaigning & open your pockets to siphon off funds for anti communal projects like the ones we have seen in Mangalore recently. Advani, if you have the courage initiate a process where the SRS culprits are booked under the Law & each of these rowdy organizations banned from even lifting a finger in Mangalore (you can try rest of India later, that is, if you succeed in Mangalore on an experimental basis)

      We all know you or your party has simply not got the "B" factor. To all my fellow readers no offence given ,none taken. Regards, Anand

Let Advani Recollect that he was in the Forefront of the Babri Masjid Demoliliton. Till today he has not apologised. Let Advani Also recollect that he was the Home Minister when he gave release of the Dreaded Terrorist Azhar Mahmood. It is time that these Youngsters who are the future of this country to think properly as there is enough time for the Country's Election. They should and vote for a Very Honest, People Serving Candidate and not a Selfish and Greedy Candidate.

      It is time that as Voters we are interested in those Leaders who can bring prosperity to this Country. Lord Macaulays Address to the British Parliament in 1835 said he travelled the Length and BReadth of India and never found a Beggar or a thief, such was the wealth in India. But today there is so much of Poverty, So many beggars, So many Criminal Activities and so on and this is all because of our leaders. Nearly 1400 Billion Dollars is stacked in Swiss Bank. It is time the Next Govt brings back this wealth to India. My Earnest Advice Vote for Good/Honest Candidates that serves the People and not candidates who entertains us with Words and play with Voters Sentiments. Advani Please Go Home and Retire.

      Advaniji, the time for condemning the event is long over. It should have been done on the day it occured. Now it is time for action against the culprits. If the BJP government takes firm action against the perpetrators of the crime, then people can see the sincerity in your statement.

      It must have come as a shock to many who stood by Ram Sene attackers, Nirmala, HM & CM, who defended the attackers directly and indirectly. Now their top boss speak exactly like many of us, who opposed it, got ourself called as psudo secularists, pro-congress, pro-western culture. Ultimately common sense prevails over non-sense, here is the evidence.

      Well said Advaniji... at least for vote sake you have told truth... if your people are showing the same behaviour in future, you cannot become a PM forever even in your dream also.. just give a moral class to your people "how to live as a good citizen" especially to Muthalik & team..

      So at last the freedoms that are enshrined in our constitution are being commented on. So pubs are bad, so taverns are bad because they are frequented by the poor and the middle class- if it is not Indian Culture then how come all the ministers and politicians and beaurocrats frequent functions where there is liquor served ( and imbibed too though some do it in a very curious way- teacups, mixed with cola etc).

      If Indian culture is what is at stake then what are we opening the country to the world and the world to our country. Is gambling Indian Culture how come in Goa there are shore based and floating casinos- where are the Rama Sena people. A parent imbibes values in his/her children.Why has the Rama Sena not gone and thrashed the parents of the helpless girls instead if they think the parents have done wrong. Because they would have been thrashed themselves.

      Assault we are told can only be charged if the helpless girls had made a complaint- photos do not tell lies. The girls are too frightened to even identify themselves and I believe that one of them has even been threatened if she dares to.. Please let the people be we are not a country of thugs but we have values imbibed in us- that is why the world is trying to follow a lot of our values. If the Rama Sena has their way we are doomed Goa had 65 pct in tourism this year due to the Mumbai blasts, the Scarlett affair and the Mangalore attacks on helpless individuals. God help us

      When the US president has done it, can the PM in waiting, Advani be far behind???.Obama prior to becoming the president, was all against the money and arms supplies to Pakistan, noting that, they were being used agaist India. Now, being the President has cooly, trebled the money flow to Pakistan. Advani after winning, may also chage his mind.

      Hope Mr.P.P.Hegde and Mr.Hosabettu are listening what their leader said. For God's sake don't file any case against Mr.Advani in Mangalore Court for his statement. What he said is nothing less than 'Talibanisation' without referring to it.

      Dear Mr Advani, With due respect to you and your party please advice your leaders in Karnataka not to make mockery of degrading the Indian culture where they make their own statement without realising even basics of Hinduism or Indian culture.We are from South kanara and Udupi feel ashamed with the spoiled name with this uncivilized attitude which has brought Mangalore a bad name. Please advice to refrian all BJP and other party associates from attacking Holy places like churches and unarmed ladies . If they are brave let them show thei bravery and go and join armed forces and go to border to defend our Mother land.

      When the people of India will learn about this classical politician? He has a statement for every event and for each place! Was he sleeping when the attacks took place weeks back? In Pakistan, he will praise Jinnah, in north India he will be a hardcore Hindu, and while in Kerala speaking in a Christian gathering, he will be acting like a disciple worked with St. Thomas.

      Well, just now Advaniji woke up from his sleep and came to know what had happened in Mangalore when all the Mangaloreans are trying to forget such incident. What a political gimmick by a leader prior the election. It may give me the same impact when Mr. Advani said Jiina is a secular leader.

      Yes Advaniji, u r absolutely rite and ur reaction of pub attack specially women attack in mangalore is too late, to people to accept u as a good leader. Where were u during church attack, pub attack, molestating the girl by BJD? May be busy with election campaigns. Very well drama for coming up election.
