A Delhi University student, Saarah Sharma, has alleged that she was denied entry to felicitate a union minister at a women's empowerment event due to her sleeveless outfit.
The event, titled 'Nari Shakti: Viksit Bharat ki Awaaz', was held at Shri Ram College of Commerce on April 12 and was organised by Mera Yuva Bharat under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
Sharma claimed that officials cited a problem with her outfit, despite a dress code that allowed traditional suits or sarees.
She described the experience as 'disgusting' and expressed her dissatisfaction that such remarks were directed at a woman by another woman.
However, some users who were present at the event described the incident differently, saying no discrimination against her due to her outfit was done.
