Uttarakhand CM Tirath Singh Rawat’s ‘casual’ remark saying women who wear ripped jeans basically 'degrade the society', did not go down well with a lot of folks on social media. 

Female celebrities and the aam janta alike, went ahead and flooded social media with pictures of themselves in ripped jeans. 

It is sometimes astonishing to see that even in 2021, we are fighting claims rooted in baseless and biased views. 

Well, when a public figure makes a tall claim out of a personal opinion, the public is entitled to have an opinion on it, and the latest political figure who reverted to this opinion is none other than Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. 

Digging out an old picture of PM Modi and Nitin Gadkari, she tweeted “Oh my God!!! Their knees are showing," where the BJP leaders are seen wearing white shirts and khaki shorts, which was the old uniform of RSS.

Now, obviously, the tweet ended evoking major reactions on social media. Some people were quick to laugh it out and add their own two cents.

However, some people were not pleased with it and their tweets made their emotions pretty clear.

This banter is a result of Uttarakhand CM’s recent controversial remarks around women’s clothing and how women wearing ripped jeans can probably not provide a healthy environment for children at home. 

“If this kind of woman goes out in the society to meet people and solve their problems, what kind of message are we giving out to society, to our kids? It all starts at home. What we do, our kids follow. A child who is taught the right culture at home, no matter how modern he becomes, will never fail in life," he said.   

With the economics of the country tumbling around, the ‘janta’ would appreciate it if every democratically chosen politician does the needful and serves the purpose of shaping the future of the country, instead of shaping opinions, maybe.
