Addressing a workshop organised by the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights in Dehradun, Rawat had said that he was shocked after seeing a woman seated near him on an aeroplane wearing ripped jeans.
"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 said.
"The country’s ‘sanskriti’ & ‘sanskaar’ are impacted by men who sit and judge women and their choices. Soch badlo Mukhyamantri Rawat ji, tabhi desh badlega. #RippedJeansTwitter," Priyanka Chaturvedi, actor, wrote on Twitter
However, actor Kangana Ranaut had a slightly different take on the controversy.
