Mahesh Sarmah, the Central Tourism and Culture Minister addressing a press conference in the Taj City Agra, said, "For own safety, women foreign tourists should not wear short dresses and skirts. They must avoid going out at night in small towns "
He added that this would be part of an advisory pamphlet to be given to foreign tourists on their arrival at the airport, asserting that the Indian culture is different from Western.
He, however, later clarified that he was not calling Western culture bad but was only pointing out the differences between two cultures.
