Panaji: A senior Goa BJP legislator on Tuesday demanded dress code for men on the beaches, days after a state minister sought a ban on bikinis at the seaside. “There should be proper dress code at par with the international standards for men to venture on the beaches. They should be in proper swim wear, and not the shabby undergarments which give a pathetic look. They can wear swimming trunk if they want to,” Michael Lobo, BJP legislator from Calangute constituency president, said. He said majority of those with shabby attire are domestic tourists who arrive in the state in a jeep, don’t book any hotel to stay and venture on the beaches in their undergarments creating nuisance for women. “They pull foreigners towards them to click picture. There should be some control on these stupid tourists or else good tourists will stop visiting,” he said.
