BJP on backfoot,calls pub attack ‘act of hooliganism’

However,he said,it was “unfortunate that our political opponents and the so-called secularists,suffer from an RSS-BJP phobia. They tend to level allegations without even verifying the facts”.

About 15 to 20 activists,reportedly belonging to Sri Ram Sene,had barged into a local pub in Mangalore on Saturday night and beat up women accusing them of behaving in an “obscene manner”.

Some sections have sought to link the Sangh Parivar to the incident in which more than a dozen men barged into a local pub in Mangalore on Saturday night and beat up women stating they were going against Indian culture and tradition.

Launching an attack on the Congress,the BJP chief said,”with the Lok Sabha elections around the corner,one should not be surprised if the Congress dumps its ‘Aam Admi’ plank and plans another slogan to confuse another section of society”.

Talking about the November 26 Mumbai attacks,he said the strikes were nothing less than an “open war” on India and that they should be dealt in the same spirit.
