vi) Mrs.Nalini Y.Shetty w/o Yashodar Shetty, Gurupur, Mangalore representing Sthree Shakthi Groups of Mangalore)

And several organizations and citizen groups,

I hereby issue you this notice for your immediate compliance-

1. You have issued public statement that ‘Talibanisation is happening in Mangalore’ and further that ‘Mangalore has been Talibanised’. You have further stated that ‘there is a clean communal divide in Mangalore where a Hindu girl is prevented from talking to a Muslim boy in Mangalore’.
2. Your public statement has been widely published in several print and electronic media on 7^th February, 2009 and 8^th February, 2009 and on subsequent dates and the same have been widely published through out the country and the whole of Mangalore city is shocked to know the imputations levelled by you against its entire population.
3. Mangalore is rich in its cultural heritage with several holy shrines of all religions. Mangaloreans are peace loving citizens. This city is famous for its educational institutions and religious tolerance. The people of Mangalore have been serving the nation in different ways and Mangaloreans are well known throughout the world for their honesty and integrity. Mangaloreans have boundless love for their motherland.
4. The words ‘Taliban’ and ‘Talibanization’ refer to terrorists and terrorist groups based in Afganisthan. To every Indian citizen, ‘Talibans’ mean anti-Indians and anti-humans. These words ‘Taliban’ and ‘Talibanisation’ represent the most abusive and degradable form of verbal assault as far as Mangaloreans are concerned. For all the people of Mangalore whether Hindus, Christians or Muslims, calling them as Talibans is totally irreligious and offending their religious feelings and beliefs. All the citizens of Mangalore, irrespective of their caste and creed, hate Talibans and Talibanism.
5. By your statements, you have thus degraded the entire community of Mangaloreans as anti-nationals by calling them as Talibans. This has offended the religious sentiments of the people of Mangalore.
6. Moreover, being a responsible Union Minister, you have acted irresponsibly by calling the citizens of Mangalore as Talibans and deliberately wounded their religious feelings.
7. From your similar repeated statements it is clear to my clients that with the evil intention of promoting enmity between different groups of people on the ground of religion and to disrupt the peace and harmony in society, you have made such statements.
8. Your imputations are prejudicial to national integration because Talibans are admittedly opposed to India and Talibans proclaim that they are determined to destroy this Nation. By your assertions you have questioned the faith and allegiance of the people of Mangalore to their motherland; and by dubbing them as Talibans, you have cast assertions prejudicial to national integration. Your statements that Mangaloreans are talibanised and that Hindu girls are prevented from speaking to Muslim boys in Mangalore are totally false. Isolated and stray incident cannot be generalized to call the entire population of the city as terrorists. Your public statement has caused divide between Hindus and Muslims in Mangalore and they have started suspecting and hating each other and on account of your statement, feelings of disharmony, enmity and hatredness and illwill has arisen between Hindus and Muslims in Mangalore and thereby you have disturbed the communal harmony of the city. You have deliberately issued such statement with an intention of causing communal divide and thereby to reap political benefits.
9. On account of your statements, the people from outside Mangalore have started looking down upon my clients and Mangaloreans as Talibans. You must be aware that your statement has degraded the entire Mangalore and also adversely affected the economic progress of Mangalore.
10. As instructed by my clients, I hereby call upon you to withdraw the above referred public statement about Mangaloreans, and you are also called upon to apologize to the people of Mangalore by issuing suitable PUBLIC STATEMENT, within three days from today.
11. On your failure to comply with the demand made in this notice, necessary legal proceedings including criminal prosecution shall be launched against you at your risk as to all costs and consequences thereof.

Pub Bharo, condom use karo ma

Hi Ma, we are all set for the day. When are you….

Set for what Baby?

Why, for Pub Bharo Ma. After Maang bharo, godh bharo, jail bharo, pub bharo is the new cool phrase. Didn’t you watch Ekta Kapoor’s new soap Ma? It’s called Aao Pub Bharen.

Hey mom, Sis and I picked out your costume for your Pub Bharo campaign. And we picked up ours too. Wait until Muthalik sees us.

Baba, I can’t wear Andhra Pochampalli silks in Mangalore. That would be a political boo boo. I hope you got me something with the Kannada spirit.

Spirit? Yes ma, plenty of spirit but your costume is a Rakhi Sawant designer designer outfit. It was voted the coolest pub costume ever on Friday. And yes, it is 100% Cotton.

What are you two doing today? I’ll skin you both alive if you set foot outside the house. And Baby, if I see the punk on the motorbike hanging out on the street, I’ll call the police. I’m serious and you tell him that.

But Ma, that’s not fair. You placed us under house arrest on Valentine’s Day last year. This year after asking all the young people of the country to Pub Bharo, you can’t lock us up in our rooms.

Baba, no backchat. Go to your rooms both of you.

Ma, we called Times Now for breakfast with you. Arnab Goswami has been the greatest defender of the right to freedom of Pub. Won’t he ask you why we are at home when the rest of the country’s young people are Pub bharoing?

Arnab is coming home? I’d better rush and change. BABA, BABY, into my room both of you. What is this? You don’t expect me to wear this? And baby what are you wearing? It’s indecent.

Ma, these were the smallest shorts in the market, they don’t make them smaller than these and don’t you think this top looks cool?

Top, where is the top? And where is the back?

Ma, when you asked us all to Pub Bharo, you wanted to teach Muthalik a government lesson. Remember Ma, Muthalik’s goons thrashed Sis’s friends for wearing similar clothes. Now let us see what he does to your daughter Ma.  What’s that in those cardboard boxes?

Those Ma are beer, scotch whiskey, rum, lager, vodka and soda. Just to be safe. If all the young people join the campaign Ma, the pubs may run out of spirit.

And Baby, that looks like my most expensive kancheepuram silk saree.

Yes ma it is. Baba told me to take it, just in case.

Silk saree, to the pub? But you just told me I cant go to the pub in a saree with bindi and bangles and I thought that’s why you got me those jeans and spaghetti strap top.

Ma, this is not for the pub. Muthalik has threatened to get us married if he catches any of us in pairs. I am just hoping I’ll be the lucky girl to get caught.

With that punk? BABY, I’ll cancel the campaign, I’ll call off the freedom struggle, I’ll ask Soniaji to order all pubs to shut down. I will not have you get married to that punk.

Too late Ma, arnab is at the door. Cheerio Ma, and don’t worry; your favorite called this morning and both Baba and I are also carrying condoms with us.

WHAT? Condoms? What are you saying?

Cool Ma, sis is only being sensible. If we are going to be in the pub the whole day and drinking, anything can happen. You have raised us to be responsible Ma. I advised baby to carry condoms. You know, just in case. And Ma, chill will you, you look frozen.

Ma, I know you will be pub hopping. Rakhi told us she will be pub hopping too. Catch up with her Ma. After all she designed your costume. She will want pictures of you and her in that costume.

And Ma, I’m hanging out with the guys at Galloping Gooseberries. And I will be at Cool Cats Ma. Just make sure when you are pub hopping, you don’t come here. I won’t be caught dead in a pub with my mother.

And Ma, next year ask Soniaji to announce Pub Bharo day on Rahulji’s birthday. This way we get to pub bharo twice a year.

Bye, Ma, you are the best. Yos bro, have fun. See you tomorrow. And, Ma, if some us get married today, you ask Girija Vyas stay out. If she thinks women have the fundamental right to dress indecently, drink during the day, be lesbians, well tell her, some us also have the right to get married. And if going to pubs and being thrashed by Muthalik is the only way we can get married in your government’s time, Girija Vyas must respect my right Ma. See you bro. If you get married call me. If I get married, I’ll call you.

You mean if we are both not so drunk. Ciao Ma. Happy Pub Bharo. Happy Pub Bharo Sis. 
You too bro. Yos.
