Madhya Pradesh minister disapproves of women wearing ‘skimpy clothes’

Senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister Kailash Vijayvargiya has said he disapproves the trend of women wearing “skimpy clothes”, which, he insisted, was a foreign concept of beauty and not in consonance with the Indian tradition.

Citing Indian culture, the minister said that he considered women as a “form of goddess”.

“If a girl here (in India) wears



good and pretty clothes, does good makeup and wears nice jewellery, then people consider her very beautiful. But abroad, if a (woman) wears less clothing, then it is considered good. Now, this is their (foreigners’) thinking,” maintained Vijayvargiya.

He made the remarks on Thursday while terming inappropriate a foreign proverb that compares the short speeches of leaders with the short clothes of women.
