Women should carry sword for protection like Kali: Minister
Comparing women to Goddess Kali, Union Minister Babul Supriyo urged them to carry a sword in their hand to "scare away anti-social elements". Adding that women may not even need to use the sword, he said, "I am not trying to instigate, I am talking about 'nari-shakti'." The minister was addressing a public gathering in West Bengal's West Burdwan district.
