Mangalore, 03 August 2012: 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 Ramanand Gowda from Hindu Janajagruti Samiti said that such competitions emphasise 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 unemployement. 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" celebartion 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.

 

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.

 

"We were looking forward to participate in the competition. The contest followed all legal norms. I do not understand why we have to live in this freedom-less society, where we are told what to do and what not to. The moralists claim they are the protectors of Hindu culture, however their actions speak differently. Let them not point fingers at others character when they themselves do not have one," says Satish a person who was intrested in contesting.

I agree with Ramanand Gowda. By drinking, one involves in rowdism, does not follow traffic rules and misbehaves with girls and destroys property. We are living examples of evils of drinking. The whole nation has seen what we have done.
