Ram Sena chief claims he was caught in ''media gang war"
Pramod Mutalik, the Ram Sene chief, whose face was smeared with ink claims he was caught in a “gang war” of rival TV channels and said that even the congress, was involved.
According to Mutalik the media was pre informed about the attack and claimed that it was an attempt by a rival channel to benefit from the incident. He said, “While I was sitting there, I was told that the crew of some other channel was going to create mischief.”
The city Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari also spoke hinting the presence of another channel having a hand in the attack. He claimed he saw the van of “another channel” at the venue and said that the channel knew of the attack beforehand but purposely did not tell the police.
IMO: Mutalik's comments sound plausible. The ink smearing will have been at least partly as a reprisal against Sri Ram Sena for beating up women for drinking in pubs. Whilst beating up women is not an ideal way to behave, it does seem to have cut down on the number of women drinking in some pubs. I have earlier commented in thie blog on the disgraceful behaviour of women drunks in the UK, for whom I feel sorry as I have frequently encountered these pathetic females in the later stages of their alcohol addiction. So Sri Ram Sena would appear to be have a lot in its favour in an attempt to improve female behaviour in India, though many people will feel their approach misguided.
