Ripped Jeans Row: CM Rawat Maintains His Stance; Wife Defends Comment

Uttarakhand CM Tirath Singh Rawat has maintained his stance on his controversial 'ripped jeans' remark as he affirmed to have problem with women wearing only distorted clothes. As per Rawat, showing bare knees is a "race towards westernization when the western world is following us" and that ripped jeans pave way for "societal breakdown". Earlier, Rawat's wife Rashmi Tyagi also defended his statement saying it was “wrongly interpreted” and "blown out of context".
