Women don't need mobile phones, says BSP MP

Agencies

Posted: Oct 22, 2012 at 1116 hrs IST
There is no need to give phones to women and children... It distracts them and is useless, says BSP MP Rajpal Saini.

Muzaffarnagar Bahujan Samaj Party MP Rajpal Saini said children, specially girls, should not be given mobile phones.

"There is no need to give phones to women and children. It distracts them and is useless. Why do women need phones? My mother, wife and sister never had mobile phones. They survived without one," Saini said in a meeting in Muzaffarnagar.

Saini later clarified that said he meant that students of certain age should not be given mobile phones.

"What I am saying is that students should not be given mobile phones... It is the age to study, and mobile phones are a distraction," he said.

In July, a village panchayat in Bagpat district of Uttar Pradesh had banned love marriage, barred women below 40 years of age from going out for shopping and girls from using mobile phones.

Kill the Beast by 21stCenturyGirl on 23 Oct 2012

I feel so ashamed of my country now where people in power have such mentality. This is not the India I was proud of in my childhood and teen age. it hurts a lot that despite all said development we are going back in 18th century. specially these people who represent us. i have no faith in any political party or leader. these people don't know what they should speak in public.

grow up you dumb heads by kareem on 22 Oct 2012

his mother was an illiterate person and more over during her time the availability of mobile was not there. even if it was available she wouldn't know how to use it. he is just talking about his mother and that all. he is expressing the feelings of his mother. how unfortunate his mother was that she didn't have the opportunity to use a mobile and why the girls of today have it. so he came out with this idea. just to please his stupid mother that's all. he or no one can't stop anyone, we live in the 21st century not stone age where we will take shit from anyone and specially from these cheap mouths who have no ethics at all. grow you dumb heads. learn to piss straight then open your mouth to talk, most of the time only shit falls out.

today he comes and says girls should not have mobile phones, tomorrow he will out and say girls should not wear bra and panties. where the hell these ass holes get these ideas from, while sitting in the toilet. grow up you cheap minds. people like you put the name of india down. as it is we are noted as a rapist country without law and order.

Hypocrites by Raman on 22 Oct 2012

Distraction is for women and girls only? Are men and boys resistant of it? Ridiculous thinking and unfortunate is India, who's been ruled by such illiterate and hypocrites.
