A Conservative student in Tehran was seen waving a purple bra in class, criticizing the support of modern urban women for Rouhani.
At an event held in an Iranian University, the student proclaimed that young and stylish women are being used in the current presidential campaign to lure male students into voting for Rouhani.
As for the bra, it remains largely unclear as to what exactly the student was aiming to achieve by waving the garment over his head. The choice of the colour purple is, however said to be a deliberate one, representing the official colour of the Rouhani campaign. The moment was captured on camera and uploaded on instagram in the following post.
