‘Sell your wife if you can’t afford toilet’: Indian official goes viral after insulting villager...

An Indian magistrate trying to promote cleanliness is under fire after telling a man to “sell his wife” if he can’t afford to pay for a toilet in his house.

Kanwal Tanuj, a magistrate from the district of Bihar, made the comments during an event in Jamhor Block last Friday, which was aimed at promoting the country's nationwide cleanliness campaign.

The Clean India Mission (Swachh Bharat Abhiyan) is a scheme launched by the Indian government which is aiming to raise the standards of cleanliness in cities and towns across the country.

The Indian Express reported that Tanuj opened his speech by calling on the crowd to obey the campaign’s sanitation standards in order to safeguard the dignity of women. Full story...
