MP from Goa says Russians ‘corrupting’ Morjim villagers

Panaji, February 28: A Parliamentarian from Goa today accused some Russians of moving around without clothes in Morjim beach village (North Goa) and corrupting the mind of locals and children.

“The state government has taken a conscious decision not to prescribe any dress code (to tourists) but during my Morjim tour I was told that some Russians move totally naked, and that they move around in villages with hardly any dress on them,” Parliamentarian Shantaram Naik told PTI after his visit to the village.

“Besides corrupting minds of locals they leave a horrifying impression on school children,” he added.

The village, a hot spot for Russian tourists, had recently witnessed protests against the foreigners after a local taxi driver was beaten to death by a Russian businessman.
