Days after justifying meat ban and even proposing to extend it during Navaratri and saying APJ Abdul Kalam was a  nationalist despite being a Muslim, Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma has reportedly made another controversial statement.

Speaking to CNN IBN, Mahesh Sharma said that, “Girls wanting a night out may be all right elsewhere but it is not part of  Indian culture”. He said that he has nothing against Western culture but Indians shouldn’t follow it blindly.

According to him, Westernisation for the sake of modernisation shouldn’t be the goal and Indians should be mindful of the social structure prevalent in the country.
