Pub bharo – Renuka Choudhary – beat moral police by making sure you go to pubs

imagesMinister of State for Women and Child Development Renuka Choudhary on Thursday last week suggested that – the only way to tackle the moral police was to launch a “ pub bharo andolan” turning the iconic freedom struggle slogan “ jail bharo” on its head.

It may be noted that Renuka Choudhary has been in continuous ‘fight’ with the Karnataka government for failing to protect women in the aftermath of the pub attack.

It is not only were women beaten up in a pub in Mangalore last month but young girls have received threats warning them not to wear “noodle straps or tight jeans” and celebrate Valentine’s Day in Mangalore an Karnataka. Also some people have even attacked a Kerala MLAs daughter for speaking to a boy in a bus.

Posters had come up across the city of warning young couples from celebrating V-Day and asking shopkeepers not to keep romantic cards and gifts. There were threats to couple that Ram sene will marry them off if they are found celebrating Valentine’s day.
