Following the attack on women in a local pub in Mangalore, women's organizations have begun to whip up a se
ries of protests in the city. First wave of the protests came on Wednesday under the All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) and another protest by Kripa Alva and friends.
The AIDWA protest has led by Bharathi and few others who demonstrated near the Deputy Commissioner’s office and demanded punishment to the perpetrators of attacks on women. The memorandum presented to the Deputy Commissioner stated that it was not only undemocratic but also barbaric to attack women. The memorandum urged the Deputy Commissioner not to spare the attackers at any cost.
The second protest led by Kripa Alva was held in front of the district incharge minister Krishna Palemar near the Press club of Mangalore, Speaking to the presspersons later Ms. Alva stated that the attacks on women in Mangalore has led a deep hurt and there is a terrific anger among the women in the city, The district minister will have to take necessary action immediately to control the vigilante groups operating in the district the ladies urged.
Earlier Mr. Krishna Palemar who addressed a press conference said it was all a conspiracy hatched by some vested interests to malign the BJP Government in the state. Talking to newspersons here, he said ''some vested interests hatched a conspiracy and fabricated the attack 
to defame the BJP government, which was working for the development of the state.'' ''The vested interests could not tolerate the popularity of the BJP government, which undertook various developmental schemes, and hatched this conspiracy and was indulging in +smear campaign against BJP,'' Mr Palemar, who is also District Incharge Minister alleged. Anyone seen who had the visuals of the incident recorded by the media, it was a clearcut conspiracy of vested interests.
If anybody wanted to attack the Pub why should they call the media before they do so, he alleged. Replying to a question, he said the ''Sri Ram Sene'' outfit was in no way associated with the BJP. The outfit had worked against us (BJP) in the last assembly elections, he alleged.
Mr. M.G. Hegde spokesperson of the Congress in a press conference has condemned the BJP and vigilante groups affiliated to it as a cancer on the society and wanted them to be banned immediately.

He said our women cannot go on pleading with the vigilante groups for every activity they take up. They don't need permission of the goons to go to the restaurant or to tell them what dress to wear. If things go on like this the social fiber of the city will be destroyed and there will be no interaction between different communities.
