CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — An Indian minister on Thursday welcomed the scrapping of an Australian swimwear line that included women’s bikinis decorated with the image of a Hindu goddess.
Designer Lisa Blue outraged many Hindus by parading models in a range of bikinis and one-piece swimwear carrying the image of Lakshmi — the goddess of beauty, wealth and good fortune — during Australian Fashion Week in Sydney last week.
Hindu-majority India conveyed its “deep concern” to the Australian ambassador in New Delhi this week, its Department of External Affairs said in a statement. Indian media reported angry mobs burning Australian flags in northern Punjab state in protest.
Indian Commerce Minister Anand Sharma said the issue was raised in discussions with his Australian counterpart Craig Emerson in Parliament House on Thursday.
Lisa Blue has apologized for any offense caused. The company said in a weekend statement that production of the swimwear had been halted and none of the offending swimsuits would be sold.
Personally, The GhostRider would not like to piss off a Goddess. He has pissed off a few who had Goddess like status and it wasn’t a pretty sight
