| 'Insensitive' Sports Council posts pics of girls online | | Unethical, immoral to capture pics unwittingly, says BJP spokesman | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Oct 27: The J&K Sports Council is again in the news for wrong reasons. This time JKSC has posted the pictures of girls practicing in the play fields on social media.
For the past few days, the Twitter handle @JKSportsCouncil had been tweeting pictures of girls, captured in the camera unaware, by officials, when they were busy practicing. Some of the mischief mongers have been passing lewd remarks, while there was apprehension of the misuse of the pictures, which are doing the rounds on the social media.
Even some pictures of schoolgirls doing practice in the fields in Jammu and Srinagar were being circulated by the government organization.
"Girls showing their talent in Basketball match at Mini Stadium Parade," reads one of the tweets with picture of girls.
But tension erupted in restive Kashmir when during the ongoing turmoil, the Sports Council posted pictures of small girls, who despite strike call given by separatists, managed to reach the indoor stadium here for routine practice sessions.
"With each volley of the badminton, destiny was only catapulting them higher and higher @parawahid @imranrezaansari @indiaSports," read a tweet alongside the picture of children, including girls at Indoor Sports complex Srinagar.
Some of the concerned citizens said it was "cheap publicity that government was exploiting sporting activities for political gains that too by using small girls."
This was when BJP Spokesman Khalid Jahangir took to the social media to take the Sports Council headed by Molvi Imran Reza Ansari and others head on. Sources BJP Spokesman said it was "unethical and immoral to capture pictures of girls unwittingly."
He subsequently expressed his dismay before Sports Ministers and Secretary Sports Council Waheed Ur Rehman Parra, by tagging them to a post, which hinted that "we should respect everyone's daughters and sisters." Till then Parra had been retweeting all such posts, made by the Sports Council, which he himself heads.
The aggrieved people continue to condemn the "cheap publicity.
This is hypocrisy. We will take up the issue with the Women's Rights Commission," said a social activist asking not to be named.
Despite repeated attempts the sports minister and the Secretary Sports Council, who were being officially tagged to such posts could not be contacted for comments. |
