When MP minister told Russian woman 'I can teach you how to remove dhoti'

Bhopal, May 19: Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Babulal Gaur is in news for making ministers uncomfortable by his remarks.

Addressing a state-level party convention, the 85-year-old former chief minister, Gaur told about the conversation when wife of a Russian leader has asked him about how he wore a dhoti without any belt.

"I told her I can't teach you how to wear it, but I can certainly teach you how to remove it, but that too later not now,'' local newspapers quoted the veteran leader as saying during the event, as per an Indian express report.

The event was also attended by BJP's state unit chief Nandkumar Chouhan.

Gaur also talked about another incident when a Russian woman kissed him on the forehead. He said after this happened he had to make an effort to prevent other women from doing so.

"Russian women are healthy. Had that photograph (of a woman kissing his forehead) been available locally, the BJP would not have given a ticket in the first place,'' he was further quoted as saying.

The remarks gave some uncomfortable moments to those attending the convention, many of them women.

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Babulal Gaur earlier landed in a controversy with his remarks that rape is sometimes wrong and sometimes right and that it is a social problem which no government can prevent.

"It is a social crime which depends on the man and the woman. It is sometimes right and sometimes wrong. Unless a complaint is filed, nothing happens," he said. "It is not possible for any government to ensure that rape is not committed. Action can be taken only after the act is done," he had said.

He said women should learn judo, karate to defend themselves. "Unless the person wants, no one can dare touch her. The item numbers in films create a bad environment," Gaur had further said.
