Why is the government getting involved in mini-issues when there are major issues like COL to tackle?

ThomasT Thursday, 06 January 2011 10:10 AM

Without a Ban, request those visiting Hindu, Buddhist shrines to wear A MODEST CLOTH, then automatically, visitors will follow suit.

who don't like to see this miniskirt girls/women? None of the human ever close eyes when they see a girl/woman with miniskirt - including government. It is one of the women's freedom to wear whatever cloth they want to wear. It is only women face consequences.

Perhaps they are going to make minis compulsory at specific sites in the country.

I will be happy if government announce mini-skirts as National dress for women.

Calistus Jayatilleke Friday, 07 January 2011 12:38 PM

Lets not forget that a good story is like a mini skirt: short enough to arouse interest and long enough to cover the subject.

noxurs Friday, 07 January 2011 10:46 PM

THAK YOU THINK ABOUT MO MINI LIKE MACRO

Lordbudhasl Thursday, 06 January 2011 07:41 AM

Two piece dresses is good for country economy, health, wealth,and closer to tradition(Vedda). Ban other clothes. Allow two pieces for women and one piece for men.

Prabath Thursday, 06 January 2011 07:45 AM

Great decision..!!!

shakthi Thursday, 06 January 2011 07:55 AM
