BANGALORE: Urging women to dress "modestly" for the "safety and security of the people," Cyriac Joseph, Chief Justice of the High Court of Karnataka, on Friday said: "Nowadays, women wear such kind of dresses even in temples and churches that when we go to places of worship, instead of meditating on God, we end up meditating on the person before us."
Mr. Cyriac Joseph said that the "provocative dresses that women wear in buses" put the "men travelling in the buses" in awkward situations and hence "women must dress modestly."
Coming back to why attacks on women happen, he linked it to their clothes. He advised the media to play a "constructive role" by highlighting this reason.
