New Delhi BJP President Rajnath Singh condemned the attack on women in a Mangalore pub and said he will hold discussions with the Karnataka chief minister on the issue.

About 15 to 20 activists, reportedly belonging to Sri Ram Sene, had barged into a local pub in Mangalore yesterday and beaten up women guests accusing them of behaving in an "obscene manner."

"The act is condemnable and whoever is responsible need to be booked and justice need to be delivered," Singh told reporters here.

"I would be holding discussions with Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on the issue today in Bangalore," he added.

He would be taking a halt in Bangalore on his way to Mysore where he will attend a rally.

MANGALORE INCIDENT by Niranjan on 27 Jan 2009

WITH BJP AT THE HELM IN KARNATAKA THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE THAT ANYTHING WILL HAPPEN TO THE SENA MEMBERS WHO TERRORIZED THE PUB PEOPLE. THIS IS THEIR MOTTO. IN BJP RULE, WE ARE NOT TOO FAR FROM TALIBANIZATION. ANYTHING GOES IN THE NAME OF RELIGION AND CULTURE.

India and its stupid people hiding behind their mother's sari. Immoral morons should be castrated

Women dress code by richard on 27 Jan 2009

Why condemn them Mr.Rajnath? Instead, send them to the labour ward of a maternity hospital to find out what pain a woman goes through to bring out children like those who are attacking them. If we encourage these attacks, we will definitely go back to the times of Lord Sri Ram and that is what BJP wants. If women do not wear fashionable clothes half of Indian industry will close down. If the clients do not visit pubs, half of state's revenue would be lost. Who will pay for this loss? The members of Sri Ram Sena?

Fit to be shot dead by Srinivas on 27 Jan 2009

Thease women have family members to descipline them. If the family members does not care about their behaviour who are we to descipline them? Ram sena or Shiv sena dont have any authority to abuse women in this manner. If they can should educate them. Voilence and force cannot bring peace in society. Thease are terrorists acts which are on par with IM , SIMI and Taliban and should be nipped in the bud. They are all fit to be shot dead. This is not Pakisthan and there is no place for violence in the name of any religion.

BJP and VHP leaders are the role models of such pathatic jerks. by Nautankee on 27 Jan 2009

Police should put them in jail and set an example. by Rakesh on 27 Jan 2009

It is kind of joke that anyone can assume any kind of name and start vandalizing/terrorizing people. As an Hindu, I do not want to see any party using religious name. These people have nothing to do with religion. Their only religion is of terrorizing innocent people. Police/govt should take stern action against them and stop them using religious names.

Rajnath on pub attack by Desi Pundit on 27 Jan 2009

The immoral idiots like this Rajnath Singh are responsible for corrupting people minds with dangerous virus known as religion. Now this scumbag is saying what is politically correct under the circumstances. Now he wants to have ''discussion with the cheif minister" to make sure that no harm is done to his monkey brigade responsible for their reprehenisible act, I am sure.

message to the Hindu Taliban by Anuradha on 26 Jan 2009

If Rama Sena jerks want to abide by the Islamic Laws by beating up women and denying their constitutional right to go to the pub, the I suggest this:Move to Afghanistan and join your brothers.If you want to enjoy the privilege of living in India,accept the fact that you have absolutely no business deciding who the women hang out with.If you can't do anything useful,then do us all a favor and please die.The world will be a better place without idiots like you.

Take action against these people now. by Anubha Dhasmana on 26 Jan 2009

Mr. Rajnath,Mere condemnation is not enough. If BJP does not bring these self styled vigilantes to justice then it would lose moral right to ask for our votes. As a women I decide not to vote for BJP unless it comes clean on this issue.
