BJP leader Raj Purohit on Tuesday criticised Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray's dream project -- Mumbai Nightlife saying that it will lead to an increase in crime against women. Under this pilot project, which will begin from January 26, malls and restaurant owners can run their businesses for 24 hours.

When asked about the project, Purohit said, "If the culture of 'alcohol' becomes popular, it'll lead to an increase in crime against women and there will be thousands of Nirbhaya cases. Aaditya should think whether such a culture is good for India."
