Saree chained women, says the BBC's former journalist on the viral picture of Nusrat Jahan and Mimi's Parliament. Is burned

Indian women and their saris go back far in the past. And the fact that even in 2019, people continue to comment on women's clothing rather than on their achievements is a big step backwards.

Recently, a Bengali actress turned politician, Nusrat Jahan and Mimi Chakraborty, made the headlines by sharing an image in which they kept their identity cards indicating that it was their first day in parliament.

However, a former BBC journalist, Tufail Ahmad, had a different concern about the photo. Sharing the same image on his official Twitter account, he said: "#saree is disappearing from India.The following generations will wear it for proms and wedding parties."

His comments have attracted a lot of attention and have earned him a lot of criticism. ] Another Twitter user and author, Aparna Jain, responded to his tweet by stating, "I just do not understand why men are commenting on women's clothes and not on their accomplishments." Two young women parliamentarians and women Is what we focus on. " [19659003] I just do not understand why men comment on women's clothes and not on their achievements. . Two young women parliamentarians and that's what we focus on. https://t.co/iYPcyx4DQw[19459003¹AparnaJain(@Aparna) May 31, 2019

To which Tufail Ahmad again tried to justify his initial comment, which earned him even more negative publicity. He wrote: "It's because #saree has chained women and their ability to walk in public spaces.We should be grateful to Americans for inventing blue jeans.A jeans really liberated women – if you can understand. "

There are not many of men went from traditional kurta pajamas or dhoti to n jersey … When the Constitution gives the choice to wear what they want, why should women be discriminated against … BTW Even Priyanka Vadra wears jeans except during the campaign …!

Ironically, your father is also in a coat shirt N …!

What is your problem, bhai ???
The number of MPs with a criminal record has increased, and the only problem you may encounter among elected MPs is a group of Bengali women parliamentarians who dress as they please.

We already do it! Do you wear a dhoti kurta?

Priyanka Sehgal (@ priyankasehgal7) May 31, 2019

And how did you presume? I'm in my thirties and my wardrobe has more saris than Western clothes. My friends, colleagues and I wear saris at work regularly. Two young women who did not wear it in Parliament the first day prove that the sare is disappearing! This is shameful sir!

Sweta Dutta (@ swetadutta27) June 1, 2019

Also, why would you expect that they carry saris to Parliament? What is the problem with not wearing one? But honestly, I feel you. We were also disappointed by our men in Parliament. Do not see them wearing our traditional dhoti kurtas anymore. We see dhotis only in weddings now

Sweta Dutta (@ swetadutta27) June 1, 2019

Well

Is Saree disappearing from India? Kyun jhooth bowl rahe ho bhai. Abhi last 3 months mei 12 saree li hai woman ne. Abhi kal fir rahi thi bowl.

To compensate, you can wear and promote.

Why are we stuck on the appearance or wearing of the person? Let them do their work and judge them on their merit. It is better to bring these observations to shaukeen buddhic groups – Whatsapp!

Kurta pajamas and dhotis disappear from India. The next generations will carry it for their promises and weddings parties …. oh, wait, that has already happened.

Well, go to Parliament with the will of the people is an exploit. They break the stereotype is a feat. This low life mentality of men is the main obstacle to women's security.

RJ (@rewanshjain) June 1, 2019

And as you know, all male parliamentarians jostle the dhoti in the house.

Apart from all that is happening in the country, how is this a topic of discussion? They are at work and wear formal wear. It's more than enough.

My uncle, by the way, is wearing a suit on his picture.

That aside, it's amazing to see men's reaction to this picture.

The clothes or what they consider to be a lack of conformity makes them super uncomfortable.

I hope that they will continue to be themselves

Ouch

Vaise I @Tufailelif book with me, gifted to me, when he was a darling of the RW ecosystem, everyone wants him to let me know, ready to give it at no cost.

Bank. Social work. Science and Technology Policy. Some examples of women in and unhindered by saree excelling in their respective fields. The problem is not with the attire, but with the audience like you. pic.twitter.com/Kri6tdRK0c

The scientific woman dressed in Saree and working @isro l will send with pleasure

Richa (@Richatriya) June 1, 2019

How is it that we know so much about unseemly saris? Do not tell me to wear them often. Let me explain, saris are more comfortable, unlike jeans. No matter who has heard of Meralgia Paresthetica & der are more. No thanks 2any1 #Rubbish

Kalpanavinash (@bhuvikal) May 31, 2019

A very ridiculous tweet highlighting your optimistic vision! Saree does not limit at all, women from all walks of life have worn it with pride and ease, especially in Bharat, unlike jeans and other skin-tight clothes causing cancer – read about scientific journals.
