BAPS Monk Attributes Eiffel Tower Women Sidelining Controversy to Miscommunication
BAPS monk Brahmavihari Swami addressed the controversy over women employees allegedly being sidelined during the Hindu organisation's visit to the Eiffel Tower on September 5. He described the incident as a "miscommunication" and did not blame the monument's management. An investigation found no explicit request from the BAPS delegation to exclude women, attributing the issue to communication failures. The event led to staff protests and the Eiffel Tower's temporary closure amid public criticism in France.
