HJS Effect : Contest to drink beer on Friendship Day cancelled in Karnataka !

August 3 2012

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

A press release from the event organisers The 3 Hungry Men said, “taking into consideration the current situation in Mangalore, we have decided to cancel our event of Beer Drinking Compettion”. "We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our participants. We are postponing the event solely for the safety of our valued participants. We promise to bring you a better and more exciting event soon," the release added. (Instead admitting own sin, organisers are accusing Patriotic Hindu organisation like HJS which always carries out its activities in lawful way, by saying that ‘We want safety of our participants !)

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.

July 31 2012

Will BJP bring a ban on contests that imitate Western lifestyle and are against our glorious culture ?

Mangaluru (Karnataka) : A contest of drinking beer has been organised on 5^th August 2012 to celebrate the International Beer Day and Friendship Day. An award will be given to a person who drinks maximum beer at a time. (A contest of this type in a BJP-ruled state is a matter of shame for BJP and RSS. Will such organisations ever be able to protect Hindu culture and the nation ? – Editor) While giving the information on this, Mr. Collin D’Souza, one of the organisers said, “The contest will be held in a beer factory on Balmath Marg here. All youths above the age of 21 are eligible to take part.”
