Bajrang Dal stops women’s party in Shivamogga, says ‘against Indian culture’
Shivamogga: Bajrang Dal members allegedly barged into a women’s night party going on at a hotel here recently, and also ordered the participants to end the celebrations and leave.
A video of the raid by the Bajrang Dal members is going viral on social media sites; however, no police case is reported to have been filed.
The party was being held at a hotel on Kuvempu Road in Shivamogga late Friday night. Learning of the event, the activists allegedly arrived at the venue with policemen and warned the women to end the party, before forcibly closing the party.
Rajesh Gowda, district convener of Bajrang Dal, who spoke to reporters, admitted that the activists had stopped the celebrations.
“We had said that such parties should not be held in the Malnad region, yet the party was organized. The matter of the celebrations on Friday night was brought to the notice of the police a week in advance. On the night of the party, we visited the venue with police staff members and told the participants to leave for home,” he clarified.
“The Bajrang Dal activists have only stopped an event that is contrary to Indian culture,” he stated.
