Quoting various media reports, Aiyar said escort agencies were gearing themselves up for the Games, and there were also indications that a large number of women from Russia and other east European countries were going to be in Delhi in October.
"When Naco said it was putting 150 condom vending machines at the Games village, I was stunned. These are to be exclusively used for athletes and there are estimates that 3, 000-3, 300 condom packs a day are expected to be used. If there are 2 contraceptives per pack, it means that 1, 00, 000 contraceptives are expected to be used. What kind of Games are these athletes playing?" he asked.
Aiyar, who had earlier raised the issue in Parliament, said he was dissatisfied with the response of the government and felt that putting up machines like these would encourage the wrong kind of tourists. "The government is giving free rein to these activities (prostitution and trafficking), " he said.
