BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya has sparked outrage after his comment comparing girls to Surpanakha, the sister of Ravana.
A video of his remarks, made at a religious function organised in Indore on the occasion of Hanuman and Mahavir Jayanti on Thursday, went viral on social media.
“When I go out at night and see young educated people intoxicated...I feel like getting down (from the car) and slapping them five to seven times to sober them up," the BJP leader said.
“And the girls wear such dirty clothes... we think of women as goddesses... there's no trace of that in them. They look like Shurpanakha. God has given you a good body, wear nice clothes. Please teach your children well, I am very worried," he added.
