Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat on Tuesday said that women wearing ripped jeans set a bad example in society. He made the statement on the sidelines of a two-day workshop organised by the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights in Dehradun.
"Kaynchi se sanskaar (culture by scissors) - showing bare knees, wearing ripped denim and looking like rich kids - these are the values being given now... If this kind of woman goes out in the society to meet people and solve their problems, what kind of message are we giving out to society, to our kids?" said the Chief Minister.
Reacting strongly to his statement, several celebrities shared their views on social media.
