Ban western clothes on ministers: Subramanian Swamy


New Delhi, Dec 27 (DHNS): BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday wanted his party to ban western clothes for its ministers, asserting that they are a part of "foreign imposed slavishness" and are not "Indian climate friendly".

Swamy, who is a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha, took to Twitter on ways to improve and enforce party discipline in the BJP.

"Western dress is a foreign imposed slavishness. BJP should make it of party discipline for ministers to wear Indian climate friendly clothes," he tweeted.

In another tweet, Swamy cited Article 49 of the Indian Constitution to suggest a ban on alcoholic drinks.

He asked the BJP to make liquor ban a "part of party discipline".

He said, "Article 49 of Constitution directs alcohol drinks be banned. While I am not for penal action, BJP should make as part of party discipline."

A day before this, he had tweeted complaining that NDA ministers had not attended the celebration of Madan Mohan Malviya's birthday in the central hall of Parliament.

In another tweet, he had said, "India is still slave to British imperialist imposition".

Last year, Swamy had remarked that Indian ministers clad in western suits looked like waiters.

Six days ago, Swamy had left the government red-faced as it sought to defend itself for the 2G spectrum verdict by asserting it had no role in picking prosecutors or directing their work.

The verdict had cleared former telecom minister A Raja and DMK MP Kanimozhi of all charges.

Swamy virtually blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for ignoring his warnings about law officers who were not serious about fighting corruption.

    "Swamy said the BJP ministers should wear indian clothes"
    If he is so lethargic to Western things, why did he use English language and achieved so many degress through a Western medium.
    Let him propose some dress code to RSS brigade too. (Desi attire)

    Before the sikulars get proactive, read his statement again.
    Swamy says the BJP ministers should wear indian clothes.
    The rest can do what they want.
    So whats the problem now?
    If someone who has read some history ,you should know that the british were in india only after 1800.
    So indians were not wearing any clothes before that.? history shows thats not the case.They were definitely wearing clothes suited to the local climate.
    we are a country with the maximum number of varieties of weaves created here. and its all dying now.

    Mr.Subramanian Swamy "Shirts (European), Pants/Pyjamas (Chinese/Central Asia), socks, T-shirt and baniyan; yes your underwear too (Jersey was invented in Europe), Kurtas (Central Asia, Ottoman, Mughal).
    That leaves you with a kashti or pudvem and a shawl or cloth to cover your torso. Will you agree to go to your ministry office in this attire?".
    So Please donate all your clothes to charity and sport a 'shendi', wrap piece of loin cloth and be model for rest of BJP's in the Parliament.
    Also file RTI on Prime Minister’s Office about designers engaged for the wardrobe of Prime Minister for his domestic and foreign tours.
    The PM’s pinstripe suit he had worn when US President Barack Obama had visited India in January was auctioned in Surat fetching Rs 4.31 crore, which was decided to Modi’s Swachh Bharat campaign. The suite had Narendra Modi’s name woven into it in gold pinstripes and it was bought by 62-year-old Laljibhai Patel, a Surat based diamond merchant.
    PM Modi's wardrobe alone runs to crores of rupees which “The PMO has clearly stated that the information sought was not a matter of record of this office. Given that, where no records are available the contention that the information sought should be provided is not correct,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a reply to RTI in the past.
    If PM Modi to BJP goes austerity measure India would have guarantee several million at least one meal a day, or free education or built hospitals were poor get free medical.
    I request Swamiji write a open letter to PMO to have uniforms for all elected representatives in Parliament of both houses and foreign visit made out of 'Khadi'.
    For the sake of nation and poor will he do it?

    Some adults strive for attention and pay any price just to get it. Those attention seeking adults may do inappropriate things like lying just to get attention or they may engage in a more constructive behavior like striving for success and recognition just for the sake of getting attention.
