Bengaluru police say no to 'Kiss of love' on Sunday

Bengaluru: The Bengaluru police has rejected permission for the 'Kiss of Love' campaign that was proposed for the coming Sunday, November 30th, as part of a larger chain of protests nationally against moral policing. The police said in rejecting approval, they were doing their duty in preventing a cognizable offence when they had prior information of it. They said allowing the protest would amount to allowing an indecent act in a public place.

The 'Kiss of Love' campaign in Bengaluru was opposed by several right wing organizations. More radical organizations like Sri Rama Sene of Pramod Muthalik had threatened to disrupt the campaign.

The Police have taken the decision to disallow it after consulting the government.
