Hindu militants threaten to target UK women drinking in Goa bars

New Delhi, Mar.21 (ANI): Hindu militants have threatened to target British women drinking in Goa's beach bars.

The Sri Ram Sena group's threat comes after a string of attacks on couples courting in public and young women drinking in pubs, reports The Telegraph.

The group has been denounced as a 'Hindu Taliban' for its violent protests against what it sees as the creeping westernisation of tradition Indian values and culture.

It launched a number of assaults on couples celebrating Valentines Day, and is believed to have been behind the kidnapping of a politician's daughter following claims that she had dated a Muslim boy.

Last month the group provoked nationwide condemnation when its supporters forced their way into a pub in Mangalore, Karnataka, and attacked middle-class girls having an after-work drink with male colleagues. (ANI)
