Indore/ New Delhi, July 21 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Industries' Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya on Saturday said women should dress up in dignified manner to avoid incidents of molestation.
Referring to the ignominious public molestation of a teenaged girl in Guwahati, Vijayvargiya said women should wear clothes that enable them to earn respect of others and does not provoke them.
Interacting with mediapersons in Indore, Vijayvargiya said, "Women should dress in such a way that they earn respect from others. This is the meaning of dressing up in our society. It should not provoke others. However, unfortunately women are dressing provocatively and are inciting others."
He also slammed the members of the National Commission for Women (NCW) who had gone to Guwahati to probe the incident.
"As per the visual I saw on television, it seems that they had gone to take part in a fashion parade. People, who are manning watchdog institutions, should conduct themselves in a dignified manner," he added.
Rebutting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister, Congress lawmaker Prabha Thakur, said such crimes should not be related to the way women dress.
"Such heinous and dreadful crime takes place against underage girls. How come their dress provokes culprits? So it is not a matter of dress code but animal instincts which provokes the culprits," Thakur told a reporter in New Delhi.
She even called for castration of culprits' organ to curb crime against women.
"I think culprit's organ should be castrated and his accomplices must be severely punished. The day such measures are implemented, crime graph will come down drastically. They will not be provoked and their animal instincts would be under control," she added. (ANI)
