Tejas Gowda, a former Bajrang Dal district leader, has requested a complete ban on unmarried couples staying at hotels, homestays, and service apartments across Karnataka. He claims that such couples often engage in inappropriate activities, negatively affecting families visiting these places. Gowda argues that these actions harm societal morals. He has petitioned the Karnataka government to enforce restrictions, aiming to preserve cultural values. In contrast, women’s rights advocate Brinda Adige strongly opposed the petition, defending individual freedoms and rights.
