Taking a firm stand, the chief minister said that his comments were misquoted and he did not mean what was made out to be. According to a India Today report , Parrikar found himself in trouble when he reportedly said, “If a woman is raped, she has to deal with inquiries only from one inspector, but if someone wants to start an industry, they have to deal with 16 inspectors.”[caption id=“attachment_1600133” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar.

Saying that he was satisfied with Dhavalikar’s version after meeting him one-to-one, the Goa chief minister said that although bikinis won’t disappear from the beaches, drinking in the open will certainly face crack down. Making full use of the opportunity handed to it on a platter, the Congress on Wednesday demanded expulsion of Dhavalikar for his controversial remarks. In a statement issued in Panaji , Congress spokesperson Durgadas Kamat said, “We demand his expulsion from the cabinet. Sudin Dhavalikar should have better concentrated on water problems in the state rather than doing moral policing and advocating what women should wear.” Dhavalikar is a member of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), which is a partner in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led coalition government in the state. Dhavalikar during an interaction with reporters Friday said , “Young girls wearing short skirts in nightclubs are a threat to the Goan culture. This habit of young girls wearing short dresses everywhere does not fit the Goan culture. What will happen to it if this continues? We should not allow this. It should be stopped.” He also advised that women should stop drinking too, “because it is not good for their health”.
