Somnath Bharti’s beautiful women’s comments ridiculous: NCW Chief

“I think there should be some sort of code of conduct within the party, perhaps, if not for MPs and MLAs, where they are actually taught that you should not go beyond a certain line – that we call the Laxman Rekha in India,” she said.

Such remarks are simply manifestations of the patriachical society, she added.

Bharti had created a storm on Monday by saying that “beautiful women” would be able to go out at midnight provided AAP government takes over policing system in Delhi.

His comments evoked sharp reaction from the BJP and the Congress. Later, he defended his statement, writing on his Facebook page, “I request media friends not to twist my statement: I have said “beautiful women laden with jewelries can travel at midnight fearlessly is the kind of benchmark one can measure security level at Delhi against, if AAP has police control.”
