A Hindu Mahasabha leader sparked row over Bollywood item numbers
Bollywood actress Esha Gupta.
Mumbai: A string of politicians in the recent past have made absurd statements about women, which obviously did not go down too well with the masses and celebs as well. And now it’s Navin Tyagi, general secretary of the UP unit of Hindu Mahasabha, a right wing outfit, who has joined the list of politicos with bizzare quotes.
Following his statement, quite a few celebrities slammed him on Twitter for his remark.
Navin tyagi sounds more talibani than Hindu.probably has some issues hidden in his closet,women not allowed jeans n mobiles?dude is on crack
— Esha Gupta (@eshagupta2811) December 4, 2014The PM promises us a modern India. Hindu Mahasabha to move Supreme Court to declare item girls, whatever that may mean, as prostitutes.
— Pritish Nandy (@PritishNandy) December 3, 2014Dear Hindu Mahasabha, stop attacking women with your idiotic statements. And there's nothing Hindu about controlling individual liberty.
— Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat) December 2, 2014 The demand by Navin Tyagi is that actresses performing item numbers in films wearing "skimpy" outfits be branded as prostitutes, sparking an outrage. ( Source : deccan chronicle )
