Wearing "Ripped Jeans", Delhi Mahila Congress Slams Tirath Singh Rawat's Remarks

The protest themed "torn jeans, visible knees do not guard my thinking" was led by Delhi Mahila Congress president Amrita Dhawan and was held in Delhi's Connaught Place.

Delhi Mahila Congress members staged a protest in the national capital on Friday wearing "ripped jeans" and raising slogans against Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat over his recent comment on women who wear ripped denims. The protest themed "torn jeans, visible knees do not guard my thinking" was led by Delhi Mahila Congress president Amrita Dhawan and was held in Delhi's Connaught Place. "Instead of keeping an eye on our clothes, Uttarakhand chief minister should broaden his ideology and outlook," Ms Dhawan said, expressing displeasure over Tirath Singh Rawat's comment over women wearing "ripped jeans". Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat received flak for his controversial comments on women wearing ripped jeans and how they cannot - he feels -- provide the right environment at home for children.
