Press Release: Announcing December 7 as the National Stubble Day
A stubble is a man’s right and no one has any right whatsoever to dictate when he should shave or whether he should shave even. It is completely a man’s discretion whether he should remain clean-shaven or stubbled or bearded or unshaven.

AIMWA strongly protests it and condemns it outright.
