NEW DELHI: Union minister Satyapal Singh on Monday landed in a soup, after demanding to know how many men would want to marry a girl who wears jeans to her wedding, reported news agency ANI."Koi aadmi agar kehne lage ki main jeans pehenke kisi mandir ka mahant ban jaaunga to log pasand karenge kya? Koi pasand nahi karega. Ya koi ladki jeans pehenkar ke shaadi ke bedi pe jaayegi to kitne ladke usse shaadi karna chahenge (If a man says that he will wear jeans and become the 'mahant' of a temple, will people like it? Nobody will like it. If a girl wears jeans to her wedding ceremony, how many men will want to marry her)," ANI quoted Singh as saying.He was addressing a gathering of students at the concluding ceremony of the Foundation Day of the Maharana Pratap Siksha Parishad, the academic venture of Gorakhnath temple in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur .Many took to Twitter to express outrage at the remarks.Singh is a former Mumbai Police commissioner who quit his job to join politics.
