Sene warns against noodle straps, V-day revelry
Hubli, February 4, 2009 (IANS): Undeterred by the hue and cry over the Mangalore pub attack, Sri Rama Sene has said it will continue with its moral policing on February 14 and stop couples from celebrating Valentine's Day.
The right-wing group also urged police to ban Valentine's day celebrations across Karnataka. "Celebrating Valentine's Day is a vulgar culture. We will not allow it. We will attack places where it is celebrated," Sene's state secretary Krishna Gandalekar told reporters here.
Muthalik, granted conditional bail in the pub attack case, also said the Sene would oppose Valentine's Day celebrations. Reports of fresh threats against ‘indecent dressing’ to young women in Mangalore are also doing the rounds.
Local goons are reported to have issued threats to young women to desist from wearing ‘noodle straps’ and ‘tight jeans’ or face action, in the run-up to Valentine’s Day on February 14.
