#RippedJeansTwitter trends on Twitter; netizens slam Uttarakhand CM 

Mumbai: Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Tirath Singh Rawat courted controversy for his remarks on women’s clothing.

The CM made some controversial remarks while speaking at a workshop organised by the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights in Dehradun, Tuesday.

“Kainchi 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, if not at home? 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? All of this, in a mad race of westernisation. While the western world follows us, doing yoga … covering their body properly. And we run towards nudity,” Rawat said at the workshop.
