Uttarakhand’s newly appointed Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat drew flak online after he passed a sexist comment and said women in ripped jeans set a ‘bad example’.
“Showing bare knees by wearing ripped jeans just to look like rich kids is the value given now, which is just a race towards westernisation when the Western world is following us today. Ripped jeans pave the way for societal breakdown and are a bad example for children,” Rawat had said on Tuesday, 16 March.
