Kerala born singer K J Yesudas landed in controversy for his comments against women dressing style.He commented on women not to wear the jeans and trouble others.
He stongly believes that Women Wearing Jeans is not the Indian Culture, and one should respect our culture says Yesudas in an event participated by him on Gandhi Jayanthi.‘’Women should not cause trouble to others by wearing jeans….
What should be covered should be covered,” Yesudas said at a function organised by a voluntary organisation ‘’When they put on jeans, men are tempted to look beyond that (jeans).Women’s beauty lies in their modesty.
They should not try to become like men.They should not force others to do unnecessary things by wearing jeans, which would give them magnetism,” Yesudas added.Yesudas remark invited sharp criticism from many quarters and women activists have asked him to withdraw it immediately and tender an apology.Mahila Congress workers held a march outside the state secretariat here demanding the singer to withdraw his statement.
‘’Yesudas is a great singer and all Indians are proud of his contribution to music.It is unfortunate that this sort of an anti-woman comment has come from him’’ said a woman activist.
