Earlier, veteran actor and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan had also weighed in on the 'ripped jeans' controversy while speaking with ANI.
She was quoted as saying by agency news, "Those in higher posts must think and make public statements. You say such things in today's times, you will decide who's cultured and who's not based on clothes? It's bad mindset and encourages crimes against women."
For the unversed, while attending a workshop, organised by the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights in Dehradun. CM Rawat had said, "Showing bare knees by wearing ripped jeans just to look like rich kids is the value given now which is just a race towards westernisation when the Western world today is following us. Ripped jeans pave the way for societal breakdown and are a bad example parent set for children." Rawat's statement sparked a nationwide outrage amongst people.
