He made the alleged misogynist comment in his speech at a workshop organised by the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights in Dehradun. Recalling an anecdote, Tirath stated that he was stunned upon seeing a woman, who runs an NGO, wearing a pair of ripped jeans and was worried about the precedent she was setting for society. Later, he issued an apology saying that he is apologetic if his statement hurt someone. However, he stood by his statement and said that wearing ripped jeans is ethically wrong. check sources India Today • A few days after sparking controversy with his statements on women wearing ripped jeans, Tirath Singh triggered another controversy by saying that people should have given birth to more children if they wanted extra ration. check sources The Indian Express He said, "Those having 10 children got 50 kg while those with 20 got one quintal. People with two children got 10 kg. People built stores and found buyers. Who is to blame for this? Now you are jealous of it. When there was time, you produced only two children. Why didn't you produce 20" During the speech, he also misquoted a major historical fact by confusing Britain with America. He said, "As opposed to other countries, India is doing better in handling the pandemic. On the other hand, America, who enslaved us for 200 years and ruled the whole world, is struggling to control the virus" check sources The Times of India |
