Udupi, Feb 8: Former union minister and veteran Congress leader Janardhan Poojary held a press conference on Tuesday February 7, over the rave party held during the International Festival at St Mary’s Island, Malpe, recently.

Addressing media persons on Tuesday, Poojary said that St Mary’s Island is worthy of being a national heritage spot and was handed over to the tourism department to develop as a major tourism hub. 

“The rave party was attended by about 400 Western tourists among 6,000 people and has indeed tarnished the image of Indian culture. Chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda, in a public statement, announces state support for organizing the ‘International Festival’ to substantiate foreign income,” said Poojary.

He sought an explanation from the district administration, as to why the tourists were allowed at the venue without proper checks for drugs after 6.00 pm, as it was recently done during a similar event held in Madikeri.

    I was surprised why our Former Minister Janardhan Poojary still not Condemn Rave Party. Here he is. I think he has been reprimand by Central Congress Leaders for not raising his voice. When Moily & team brought UPCL in our beautiful coastal area to rape natural beauty, no Congress Leader raise their voice but rave party becomes national issues for all Congress Leaders now. Though we should not support this kind of party at all, but let the people enjoy their life and face the consequences by them only. After all we all know that some principle in life learned by experience only
