DELHI (GNB): Women across India are sharing their pictures in ripped jeans on Twitter, but why?
After the chief minister of the northern state of Uttarkhand, Tirath Singh Rawat said that women wearing ripped jeans send out a wrong message to their children and to society, many women posted images wearing ripped jeans.
Women have taken to social media to assert that nobody is entitled to judge anyone on the basis of their clothes.
Rawat had said that it “shocks” him to see women wearing ripped jeans and questioned what kind of an “example” they are going to set in front of their children and society.
Speaking at an event on Tuesday, Rawat said that due to a lack of values, youngsters today are following strange fashion trends and consider themselves to be big shots after wearing jeans that are ripped at the knees.
The chief minister said young people go to the market to buy ripped jeans and added that if they can’t find one, they cut their jeans using scissors.
Rawat went on to describe the attire of a woman who sat next to him on a flight. He said the woman was wearing boots, jeans ripped at the knees and several bangles in her hands. “Two children were travelling with her. She runs an NGO, goes out in the society and has two children but she wears jeans ripped at the knees. What values will she impart?” he stated.
Responding to Rawat’s problematic statement, women started posting their pictures on social media wearing a pair of ripped jeans. Actor Gul Panag registered her protest against the statement by sharing a picture of herself along with the hashtag #rippedjeans.
I mean I’m all for sarees but ripped jeans aren’t bad either
