Subramanian Swamy backs Mahesh Sharma, says people should avoid wild binging on weekends

New Delhi: BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Saturday backed Mahesh Sharma's statement that girls going out late at night is unacceptable and is not a part of Indian culture, and added that our culture says people should wake up at four in the morning.

"Mahesh Sharma's statement is correct. There is a difference between westernisation and modernisation. Westernisation has not made the society in America happy, in fact, they all are coming here to Swamy ji's Ashram to learn how to be happy," he said.

"We should have a very simple life rather than binges of wildness during weekends,"Swamy said. Sharma had earlier stroked a controversy by saying that girls wanting a night out is unacceptable in India. "Girls wanting a night out may be all right elsewhere, but it is not a part of Indian culture," Sharma told a private TV channel on Friday.
