Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat believes that ladies wearing ripped denims cannot present the correct tradition at dwelling to kids. Speaking at a workshop organised by by the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights in Dehradun on Tuesday, Rawat stated he was ‘shocked’ to see a lady operating an NGO wearing ripped denims.
“Recently when I was returning from Jaipur…I noticed a woman sitting beside me. She was wearing gumboots and ripped jeans exposing her knees. The woman, who runs an NGO, was with her two kids. What kind of values would you give to your children?” Rawat stated.

“Kaynchi se sanskaar (culture by scissors) – showing bare knees, wearing ripped denim and looking like rich kids – these are the values being given now. Is this good?” he added.
Rawat’s new Cabinet colleague Ganesh Joshi went a step forward by including that ladies elevating ‘good kids’ ought to be the primary precedence of ladies.
Former Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha reacted sharply over Rawat’s assertion. He questioned whether or not the BJP endorses CM Rawat’s remark.
“Wearing “#rippedjeans” destroys our culture, it seems. It leads to substance abuse. And a societal breakdown. Women should strictly avoid this sacrilege against our pristine customs, says Uttarakhand CM. Dear BJP, this is your CM Tirath Singh Rawat: Do you endorse this?” Sanjay Jha tweeted alongside with a photograph of him wearing a ripped denims.
