Muzaffarnagar Khap Panchayat bans jeans, cell phones for girls
Muzaffarnagar, Aug 10 (IBNS): In a bizzare dikat, the Khap Panchayat in Uttar Pradesh's Muzzafarnagar district has banned unmarried girls from wearing jeans and using mobile phones.
According to the Panchayat, these have bad effect on the unmarried girls.
"The panchayat of Gujjar community was held at Jadwad village on Friday. It passed the diktat banning wearing of jeans and use of mobile phones by unmarried girl," a CNN-IBN report said.
Slamming the ban, Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi told media: "Women are equally free in this country. They can wear what they want just the way men wear what they want. No one can discriminate against women. If someone does, then law should take action against them."
