Women will be punished like Sita if they cross their limits : BJP's Kailash Vijayvargiya
INDOR: Madhya pradesh industry minister Kailash Vijayvargiya kicked up yet another controversy in the backdrop of recent crimes against women by asking them to stay within moral limits.
Talking to mediapersons here on Thursday night, the minister drove home his point with an example from mythology. "Ek hi shabd hai - Maryada. Maryada ka Ulanghan hota hai, toh Sita-haran ho jata hai. Laxman-rekha har vyakti ki khichi gayi hain. Us Laxman-rekha ko koi bhi par karega, toh Rawan samne baitha hai, who Sita-haran karke le jayega. (There is a moral limit, which should not be breached, and if it is breached, one must understand that Ravana is watching and then Sita is bound to be abducted), the minister said quoting the Ramayana.
This is not the first time that the Madhya Pradesh industry minister has stirred a row. Last July, Vijayvargiya had said that the women should dress in sync with 'Indian culture' in order to avoid molestation. Then too the minister was in the midst of controversy.
Hi remarks have cused a major embarrassment for the BJP.
