In a shift from Goa government’s earlier stand, chief minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday said he would not allow the controversial right wing outfit Sri Ram Sene to work in the state.
‘Sri Ram Sene is not there in Goa. It is functioning in Karnataka. SRS chief Pramod Muthalik stays at Hubli. There is Congress government in Karnataka, what stops them (Karnataka government) from banning them (SRS)?’ Parrikar told the state assembly during the question hour on Tuesday.
‘SRS will not be allowed to work in Goa. If he (Muthalik) starts his activities, we will take action against him,’ he said. BJP’s Goa spokesman Wilfred Mesquita had ruled out the possibility of the state banning SRS in the state, claiming that Indian Constitution does not stop anyone from conducting lawful activities anywhere in the country.
