New Delhi: Congress MP from Himachal Pradesh Viplove Thakur on Tuesday demanded a ban on sale of fairness creams saying it is demeaning for women.
Raising the issue during the Zero Hour in Rajya Sabha, Thakur said "advertisements of products like Fair & Lovely and Ponds face creams are demeaning for women".
Every cream promises to make them fair, but the results of such claims are never tested, she said.
Such advertisements should be stopped and these "should be banned," Thakur said.
Women, she said, were developing a complex because of such advertisements.
Asking whether these products were actually tested by the concerned agencies before they hit the market, Thakur asked the government to take note of the "false promises" being made through these advertisements.
