Good If Boys Beat Up Girls Who Drink & Dance in Pubs: VHP Leader Sharan Pumpwell
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.”
But Pumpwell wasn’t done yet. Next, he compared moral policing to “raising public awareness.”
“Don’t you see the public service ads on TV, “drinking is injurious to health”. Why do they show that? Because they are raising awareness against drinking alcohol. They (the moral police) use the same technique.”

‘Campaigning for BJP in Coastal Karnataka’
Pumpwell admitted that the VHP and the Bajrang Dal have undertaken a large-scale door-to-door campaign in coastal Karnataka to campaign for the BJP and “to ensure that only Hindus win here.”
"In coastal Karnataka, only Hindus should win. That is why the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal are working for the BJP this election. We have appealed to all Hindus to vote only for Hindus in this election. We are going from village to village, from one household to another telling people, “Vote for Hindus, we need a government in Karnataka that supports Hindus”.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
