Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath said that he doesn’t impose a dress code on his officials just because he likes to wear a particular kind of attire (saffron).
Speaking to India Today TV he said: “Every person is free to wear what he or she wants. But that freedom is limited to public places, markets and homes. But I don’t impose a dress code on anyone. I can’t do that.”
He was referring to the Karnataka hijab controversy wherein girl students are demanding permission to wear hijab in classrooms.
“However, every organization must follow uniform regulations. If a policeman says that he is from a particular religion and he will dress up accordingly, then the organisation will descend into chaos.”
