Bihar minister says moral policing should be conducted decently

A Bihar minister has said that moral policing can be carried out in a “decent” and “elegant” manner, according to the headline and short description supplied by India Today. The remark concerns the manner in which moral policing should be conducted. The source material does not identify the minister, specify when or where the statement was made, or explain what prompted it.

It also does not describe the actions or behaviour to which the minister was referring. No further comments, official explanation or response from other people or organisations is included in the available material. The phrase “moral policing” can refer to attempts to regulate behaviour on perceived moral grounds, but the supplied report does not provide enough information to establish the specific context of this statement.

It is therefore not possible from the available material to determine whether the minister was discussing a particular incident, policy or enforcement practice. The confirmed information is limited to the reported assertion that such policing could be done in a decent and elegant fashion. The minister’s identity and the broader circumstances of the comment are not provided.
