Uttarakhand's newly announced chief minister Tirath Singh Rawat's "ripped jeans" comment has created an uproar in the nation with many feminists hitting back at the CM for his mentality and ideas.
Now, actor-politician Jaya Bachchan has expressed disappointment on the remark saying this was the mindset that encouraged crimes against women. "Such statements don't befit a Chief Minister," said the Samajwadi Party parliamentarian on the remarks that have drawn flak and anger on social media.
"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," Jaya Bachchan said.
Many condemned the CM's remarks on social media as the hashtag #RippedJeansTwitter was among top Twitter trends.
