“Kaynchi se sanskaar (culture by scissors) – showing bare knees, wearing ripped denim and looking like rich kids – these are the values being given now. Where is this coming from?? What is the fault of teachers or schools? Where am I taking my son, showing his knees and in tattered jeans? Girls are no less, showing their knees. Is this good,” Singh added.
Singh’s assertion took the web with a storm. Women’s rights activists, leaders in oppositions and even celebs slammed Uttarakhand CM for his yicky remarks. People took to their social media accounts posting footage whereby they’re carrying ripped denims.

Ripped denims are a difficulty. Poverty is not. Security is not. Education is not. Hunger is not. Pollution is not.

Such statements are to distract with the core issues.Unfortunately,in our society there are people from different generations,diff thought process and they will help in amplifying it.Masses are really not on the social media,we can only vent out.

Ripped Jeans aur Kitab.
The country’s ‘sanskriti’ & ‘sanskaar’ are impacted by males who sit and decide girls and their decisions. Soch badlo Mukhyamantri Rawat ji, tabhi desh badlega. #RippedJeansTwitter pic.twitter.com/qYXcN88fY6— Priyanka Chaturvedi (@priyankac19) March 18, 2021
In solidarity with the lady with ripped denims who was judged by a misogynist.
Just ripped denims is sufficient to make males insecure. #RippedJeansTwitter pic.twitter.com/e7UPdeo1AB
