Western clothes are a part of "foreign imposed slavishness", believes Subramanian Swamy, who also suggested that western attire is not "Indian climate friendly".

Bharatiya Janata Party Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament also has a few suggestions for his party's discipline: "Indian climate friendly clothes" and no alcohol - the former for ministers and the latter, presumably, for the entire party.

In a two-part series of tweets, Swamy said he is against "penal action" when it comes to the Constitution's direction to ban alcohol drinks in the country but suggested that BJP ban liqour a part of "party discipline".

As for as his ideas on attire, Swamy tweeted, "Western dress is a foreign imposed slavishness. BJP should make it of party discipline for Ministers to wear Indian climate friendly clothes".

Swamy went on to clarify that he simply wanted ministers to promote Indian culture and suggested western economies wanting to invest in India wasn't a valid enough argument not to oppose certain practices.

This is not the first time Swamy has pitched the idea of traditional clothes for Indian ministers. Last year, the MP courted controversy as well as party anger by tweeting, "BJP should direct our ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian clothes while abroad. In coat and tie they look like waiters."

The comment was seen as a swipe at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who was then in China on a five-day trip.
