Govindan firmly stated that there is no need for anyone to dictate what should or should not be included in an individual’s dress code, as this decision rests solely with the individual themselves.
Citing the party’s standpoint, Govindan made it clear that Anilkumar’s comment differs from the official position, and that no such remarks should be made by the party. He expressed that he does not believe in passing judgment on anyone’s attire or insisting that only certain clothing choices are acceptable.
The official position of the party has been unequivocally stated, making it unnecessary for further discussion or individual viewpoints on this matter.
