Karnataka BJP Chief Nalin Kumar Kateel says all pubs in Dakshina Kannada should be shut down
Mangaluru: Karnataka BJP President and Dakshina Kannada MP, Nalin Kumar Kateel on Friday added that all the pubs in DK District should be shut down. He said he believes that the pub culture is ruining youngsters in the region.
The MP added that he has already talked about the issue to the Commissioner.
“In our time, we stopped the operation of clubs. Pubs should also be shut down in the district. It is for ruining youngsters. If the government doesn’t take any decision, I will inform the youth wing (party) to take appropriate action through the court.”
The controversy over Karnataka’s pub and club culture goes back to 2009 when BS Yediyurappa was the chief minister and his government strongly opposed to the growing pub culture in districts surrounding Bengaluru at that time — in the aftermath of the Mangalore pub attack. On January 24, 2009, Sri Ram Sena attacked a group of the young crowd in a pub in Mangalore. Those who had been arrested were acquitted in 2018.
