dialogue, he said,  ' Girls should wear clothes properly , To cover the body . How many women these days say-  is not , is our right. We want to show , we keep   is also correct. My wish is I run barefoot or I do . But instead of doing what I want, what are the consequences ?'

He quoted Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada and said that men are butter and women are fire . ' Boys are butter , Girls are fire . Bring the butter closer to the fire or bring the fire closer to the butter. Boys are unruly , Boys are like sheep . Boys have no wisdom. Just dress up to not excite the boys ,' he said , ' don't excite them . But what do we say ' freedom '  ha... We have talked. First of all, in Darchula, which one broke the story, ', rape, ', , , , it used to come in the headlines. It used to come in the news . One in five to 10 years could be heard . Now the same person is doing . He won't ' rape ' but he will do it , he will enjoy two to four months and leave . This idea comes from degradation in culture . '
