In an interview to The Quint,
Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Secretary in Mangalore, Sharan Pumpwell, said,
“If someone beats up girls who are dancing and drinking in pubs, then he
is doing a good job. There is nothing wrong in doing that.”
Pumpwell, who is a former Bajrang Dal leader and is currently campaigning for the BJP in coastal Karnataka, went on to say, “If a young girl goes to a pub, she will dance and drink there, she will do drugs. There is a sex mafia in these pubs too. Can we just sit quiet and watch? Mangalore is a cultural place, with good sanskriti. That is why the youth want to put an end to such things.”
