CM Rawat on Friday tried to explain his quote as he said that his statement was misappropriated. He said that he doesn’t have anything against jeans but its the ripped jeans that he objects to.

Jaya Bachchan condemned the statement and said that such statements don’t benefit a Chief Minister. She added that its a bad mindset that encourages crimes against women.

Like always, Ranaut has taken an unpopular stand on the issue. Through her tweet, she posted pictures of her in ripped jeans like many women but she did not necessarily support the campaign. Instead, Ranaut gave her opinion on how ripped jeans should be worn.

Ripped Jeans Twitter has sparked an online movement of women exhibiting their right to free clothing choice while serving a smart blow to Tirath Singh Rawat’s remarks.
