New Delhi, July 1 (IBNS) While the nation watched stunned a Trinamool Congress MP threatening rape of women from the opposition, a Goa Minister is facing flak for sexist comments.

Goa's PWD minister Sudin Dhavalikar has said it is against Indian culture for women to go to pub or wear short dresses.

Speaking to CNN IBN channel, he also 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.

Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar is also facing flak by drawing an analogy of rape to doing business.

He said if someone commits rape, he has to face one inspector but for setting up industrial units one has to face many.
