In a bizarre remark made by the Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Tuesday, he advised a group of nurses to not stage their protest in the sun as they may get tanned and 'ruin their marital prospects'. According to a DNA report, Anusha Sawant, one of those agitated nurses said, "When we met the chief minister over our demands at Ponda today, he said the girls should not sit on hunger strike in hot sun as their complexion will become dark and they will not find a good bridegroom." Source: The Hindu The Minister, however, denied making the remark. Dear Mr CM, thank you for your concern over marital prospects of Goan nurses, but we got inspired by you and planned a protest-ready kit for India.
