Ripped jeans pave the way for societal breakdown and is a bad example parents set for children,” he said recalling his encounter with a woman wearing distressed denims in a plane.
Speaking to ANI, Jaya Bachchan said, “Those in higher posts must think and make public statements. You say such things in today’s times, you will decide who’s cultured and who’s not based on clothes? It’s bad mindset and encourages crimes against women.”
Since the comments from CM Rawat, #RippedJeansTwitter has been trending where women from all across are sharing their pictures wearing distressed denims and calling out the problematic statement by the CM.
