‘Ask husbands to drink at home’: Minister’s bizarre request to women

Madhya Pradesh Cabinet minister Narayan Singh Kushwaha on Friday advised women to request their husbands to bring liquor home and drink it, believing this would make men feel ashamed and discourage drinking. Kushwaha, the social justice and empowerment minister, made the remark at a Nasha Mukti Abhiyan program in Bhopal. “Request your husbands to bring liquor at home and drink it,” urged the minister, highlighting the approach as a means to curb alcohol consumption among men.
