Bikinis, mini skirks responsible for sex crimes on Goa's beaches, - Indiana minister!

According to news reports, a public works department minister in the Indian state of Goa, Sudin Dhavalika has warned women against wearing bikinis on beaches or visiting pubs wearing short skirts, saying it is against Indian culture.

Dhavalika linked bikinis to sexual crimes and called for a ban.

"We should not allow girls with bikinis to enter public places because it is very difficult to control people who arrive in Goa from different states. By the time the victim reaches the police it is too late. It is better to control such type of activities on the beaches," he said.

Adding that women should not visit pubs in short skirts.

It was reported that while the BJP distanced itself from the minister's comments, members of the opposition Congress party sent Dhavalikar a short skirt in protest.

Dhavalikar is a member of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak party, an ally of India's ruling Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata party (BJP).
