Hindu outfit says never demanded ban on jeans but half-jeans

December 01, 2014 21:18

A day after Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha had demanded that girls be banned from wearing jeans, the right-wing outfit today said it never demanded a ban on jeans but half-jeans (capris).

"We are not against girls wearing jeans but we are against girls wearing skimpy clothes," state spokesperson of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha Lalit Bhardwaj said.

He was responding to a question by reporters based on the statement of the girls to a TV channel saying if they had not worn jeans, they would not have been able to protect themselves.

The outfit had yesterday demanded that a dress code be introduced in schools and colleges and mobile phones be banned on their premises "to check increasing obscenity".
