Don’t wear jeans and tempt men: CPI(M) MLA to women
Kolkata, 01 Nov 2013: Veteran leader and CPM MLA Rezzak Mollah has once again courted controversy by telling how Indian women should dress up. Mollah said that women should avoid wearing western clothing, like jeans and tops, as such clothes tempt men.
Mollah came up with this bizarre suggestion when asked about the growing crime against women.
Speaking on the sidelines of a Muslim conference on women in Kolkata on Wednesday, Mollah said, women should avoid western clothing as it is not in sync with the moral standards of Indian society.
Mollah was at a women’s conference organised by Jamaat-e-Islami Hind to protest against "misinterpretation of women independence and their rights, which is leading to a lot of violence against women".
Mollah courted another controversy during the programme when he criticised the Left and congratulated the ruling Trinamool Congress over introducing women empowerment schemes.
"Although the state government trumpets its achievements, we will have to admit it is doing a lot of work for women empowerment. Look at all the scholarships and the Kanyasree scheme. The CPM did not do much during its tenure and when it started announcing schemes for the welfare of women, it was too late," Mollah was quoted by The Indian Express as saying.

Men get tempted by seeing women in contour revealing cloths. Unfortunately, they seek helpless innocent souls to satisfy their craving. People may argue that jeans and t-shirt covers better than saree. But covering the body doesn t mean that the clothes are not sexy. Even a thick layer of paint can cover the body. Men have powerful image processing capability. Their mind can easily replace the denim to skin colour. The end result - They see a women walking naked down the street. I am not hear to justify who is right and who is wrong. I am telling the reality. Most of the men have self control and they stay away from such heinous act. But some of them involve in crime. Wearing jeans is ok as long as it is little bit loose fitting. Why women always want to wear the jeans or pants tight? Is it to tempt the guys? | |
