Minister gifts bats to brides for beating alcoholic husbands
Madhya Pradesh Minister Gopal Bhargava recently gifted a 'mogri', a bat traditionally used to wash clothes, to about 700 brides during a mass marriage ceremony. Bhargava advised the brides to use it on their husbands if they turn alcoholic or harass them and refuse to mend their ways. The bat reads 'gift for beating drunkards, police will not intervene'.
