Women flood Twitter with pics of them in ripped jeans after Uttarakhand CM’s remark, check it out below:
The new Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Tirath Singh Rawat received flak online after he said women in ripped jeans set a ‘bad example’. As a video of remarks went viral, hundreds of women posted photos online of them wearing ripped jeans.
He made this controversial remark while addressing a child substance abuse workshop in the state. Tirath Singh described in detail the attire of a woman who sat next to him in a flight. The woman, he said, identified herself as an NGO worker and was traveling with her kids. He said: “You run an NGO, wear jeans ripped at the knees, move about in society, children are with you, what values will you teach?”
Quoting ripped jeans as “kainchi wala sanskar” (scissor culture), Rawat claimed it is being taught that one will not be called rich without ripped jeans and bare knees.
Later, #RippedJeansTwitter started trending online and Twitter was flooded with it. While some tagged the CM in their posts, most criticized him indirectly saying, “Clothes don’t define character” and “no one should be judged on their attire”.
