Khap panchayats of northern India mock civilized legal system by ‘ordering’ death and exile

The Mangalore pub assault episode, which took place on January 24, 2009, when the activists of Sri Rama Sene barged into a pub and violently beat up the girls present there in the name of preserving Indian culture, has received condemnations and reactions from all political parties. BJP's national leaders condemned the attack too - though their focus was more on dissociating themselves from the Sene and avoiding any tengential blame.
