In a horrific incident in Bhuj college that sparked controversy after 68 college girls were harassed and tortured by the administration and Principal. Now, another controversy has created a stir on the same case after Swami Krushnaswarup Dasji of Swaminarayan Bhuj Mandir made a contentious remark.

According to the reports of Ahmedabad Mirror, Swami Krushnaswarup Dasji said that “if a menstruating woman cooks food for her husband then her next avatar will be a “kutri (bitch)”.

He also added that if a husband eats food made by a woman during her periods then he will be reborn as ‘ox’.

"As per rules mentioned in the ‘Shashtras’ if a woman prepares a food she will turn into a dog," Swami told.

The spiritual leader also told that “Now that I have said this, everyone will feel that I am strict. And they {women} will cry that we will turn into dogs. So, yes, you will have to {become dogs}.”

His thoughts on menstruating women expose his misogynistic mindset of the sect and its followers.
