Senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut today said those having links with Russian and Nigerian "mafia" should be banned in Goa, and not someone like Sri Ram Sene chief Pramod Muthalik.

"Muthalik should not be banned in Goa," Raut said, speaking to reporters here.

Since 2014, BJP-led Goa government has denied Muthalik permission to enter the state, as police fear his entry can create a law and order problems.

"There are many others from outside from Nigerian and Russian mafia who need to be banned," the Rajya Sabha MP said.

"Even the Jawaharlal Nehru University student leader Kanhaiya Kumar is moving around freely in the country," Raut quipped.
 

Muthalik, whose organisation hit the headlines after an attack on young men and women at a Mangalore pub, had said he planned to protest against the "pub culture" in Goa.
