Bengali actor and Trinamool Congress legislator Chiranjeet a.k.a. Dipak Chakraborty contended that short dresses worn by women were one of the main reasons behind the increase in incidents of harassment of women in his constituency in the North 24 Parganas district. “Eve-teasing is a very old thing. It has been going on for ages. One of the reasons behind the increase in incidents of eve-teasing is short dresses and short skirts worn by women. This in turn instigates young men,” said Chakraborty. The comments come a day after a girl was harassed in the area. However, after facing criticism, Chiranjeet tried to clarify his statement. “I had said that keeping in mind the well-being of the teenage girls. The comments are nothing but reflections of the concerns that a father, elder brother or a guardian has regarding his teenage daughters or sisters,” he said.
