Uttarakhand CM Tirath Singh Rawat has made a controversial remark on ripped jeans. He said that it destroys Indian culture and leads to substance abuse.
Rawat also targeted the parents and said, "It is a result of the “bad example” parents set for children, which also leads to substance abuse."
Congress leader Sanjay Jha was the first one to react. Jha tweeted, "Wearing “#rippedjeans” destroys our culture, it seems. It leads to substance abuse. And a societal breakdown."
Sanjay Jha asked, "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?"
He further added, "A society getting ripped on divisive politics is fine. But “#rippedjeans” destroys our great culture. Kya baat hai!"
