Kailash Vijayvargiya, the national secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party, has stirred controversy with a statement he made at an event organized by the Jain community on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti in Indore. In a viral video that is speculated to be from April 5, Vijayvargiya expressed his disapproval of girls dressed in what he considers to be “vulgar” clothing, saying that they look like “Shurpnakha.” He also commented on seeing boys and girls dancing in an inebriated state, stating that he felt like slapping them to sober them up. The video has sparked outrage on social media. Vijayvargiya’s remarks have been widely criticized, with many people pointing out the sexist and moralistic nature of his comments. Some have accused him of promoting a regressive and patriarchal mindset that seeks to control women’s clothing choices and behavior. Others have called on the BJP to take action against him for his controversial remarks, which they say are not befitting of a political leader.
