After Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad came up with his wacky suggestion of watching television to reduce population explosion, especially for rural folk, his deputy Dinesh Trivedi is now concerned that the heavy metal content in lipsticks needs to be reviewed. The reason: The cosmetic is contagious and can harm men too!
At a recent science conclave in the capital, a professor expounded on the harmful effects of the makeup and exhorted the health ministry to carry out an investigation on the lead content. Last heard, Trivedi had apparently invited the professor to visit him in the ministry to give him more evidence.
