MUZAFFARNAGAR
(NNN-PTI) -- A BSP MP has kicked off a controversy by saying that girls should
not be given mobile phones.
"Don't
give mobile phones to children, especially girls.
I
say this at all the places where I make my speeches. And if any of these kids
have a mobile, take them away. What are they missing anyway? What are the girls
missing without mobile," Rajya Sabha MP Rajpal Singh Saini said.
"Our
mothers, sisters.. Did they die if there were no mobiles during their time,"
he said addressing party workers here last night.
Saini
also reportedly conveyed this view to a man who sought his help after his
daughter had eloped.
The
BSP leader told him that the mobile phone was the main cause behind his
daughter's elopement.
The
BSP leader's comments come months after a panchayat in Baghpat had banned love
marriages and barred women below 40 from going out for shopping and using
mobile phones outside their homes. --NNN-PTI
