Govt urged to provide firearm licences to Hindu outfit leaders



September 03:


Controversial right wing outfit Sri Ram Sene’s chief Pramod Muthalik today said he would submit a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighting the need for providing licences for firerams for self-protection for leaders of Hindu outfits considering increasing incidents of attacks on them.


As providing police protection was limited to certain areas, it was necessary for the leaders to carry firearms, since there was threat to them from various quarters, including extremist forces, who were carrying sophisticated weapons, Muthalik told reporters here, adding, similar petitions would be submitted to the Union Home Minister and State Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.


On sexual assaults on women, including minor girls, he said the Government and school managements should come out with a dress code for the students, since attire was also one of the reasons for such heinous crime.


He also said government should ban forcible conversions.


Muthalik said Tamil Nadu government should follow Kerala and introduce prohibition in phases, which would decrease crime rate.
