Mangaluru (Karnataka) : The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has strongly condemned the beer drinking competition which was all set to be held in Mangalore on August 5.
Speaking to Deccan Herald, Ramanand Gowda from Hindu Janajagruti Samiti said that such competitions emphasis western culture and aim to destroy the ‘Hindu dharma’ and Indian culture. It has a bad influence on youth. "By drinking, one involves in rowdism, does not follow traffic rules and misbehaves with girls and destroys property. Most of the people who do this are educated youth who hail from good families," he pointed out.
"Our country is suffering from drought, inflation and unemployment. Such competitions aim to take youth in the wrong direction," he said. He also blamed that these events are organised to enhance consumerism. "Such competitions and even "Day" celebration cultures should be banned," he demanded. The Samiti has submitted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner, Police Commissioner and Chief Minister to take action against the event.
Event cancelled
Propriteor of Beer Factory, Prajwal Rai told Deccan Herald that the excise department has informed that the event cannot be held until the section is lifted.
"The event organisers have not sought permission from the district administration. Hence I have told the excise department not to permit the event," said Deputy Commissioner Dr N S Channappa Gowda."The organisers cannot organise the event without permission. If they request permission, let us look into the matter," said Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh.
