New Delhi, July 13 (IBNS): After Goa's PWD Minister Sudin Dhavalikar's alleged sexist remark, Union Minister of State for Tourism Shripad Naik has now said that the pub culture in Goa is not acceptable.
"We won't accept anything that is against our culture. Local government should look into it. Central government will not get into it. We will oppose anything going against our culture. Anything that is against our culture.. we won't accept," Naik told media.
 
Earlier, Sudin Dhavalikar has reportedly said it is against Indian culture for women to go to pub or wear short dresses. 
 
Speaking to CNN IBN channel, he had reiterated it: "I appeal to all women in Goa not to drink. It is not good for health also. We will crack down against pubs. Women wear short dresses and go to pubs, they go and drink. This is not good."
 
"Women from outside Goa come and visit pubs. Visiting pubs and drinking is against Goan culture," he said.
