ByRushda Fathima Khan

Nine hundred individuals and groups, including lawyers, journalists, academicians, activists and students, have endorsed an open letter demanding action against the online targeting of Muslim women.

The signatories criticized the ‘openly misogynistic hate speech against minority communities, which ‘celebrates a rape culture against Muslim women’ being ‘targeted for their religious identity. 

The outrage is in response to the targeted sexualized hate and harm to Muslim women on GitHub, a free web platform. A website called ‘Sulli Deals’ was created on GitHub, a free web platform, where Twitter handles and photos of Muslim women were put out without consent, allowing users to take their pick on the ‘deal of the day.’ Sulli is a derogatory term used to refer to Muslim women, by Hindu extremists.

The letter demanded immediate action be taken against the culprits, that the internet be a safe space for women to express dissent and difference, that commercial portals develop policies to prevent their users from treating women as objects and de-humanizing them and that the cyber cell, social media platforms such as GitHub, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook and the National Commissions for Women and National Human Rights Commission must at once take prompt action against the individuals who are responsible for such acts of terror and intimidation.

The signatories demanded prompt and effective legal action to deter and hold the perpetrators accountable. 

The letter was also endorsed by organizations such as Bebaak Collective, Campaign Against Hate Speech, Association for Democratic Rights (Punjab) and prominent individuals from the Campus Front of India (CFI), Indian American Muslim Council, Led By Foundation and All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawrat.

Overconfidence of many party leaders led to BJP’s rout in WB assembly polls: Suvendu Adhikari

Overconfidence of many party leaders led to BJP's rout in WB assembly polls: Suvendu Adhikari

Kolkata: In his first public criticism after BJP’s defeat in the West Bengal assembly polls, Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday said the BJP lost because of several leaders’ overconfidence that the party would get over 170 seats.

At a party meeting in Chandipur area of Purba Medinipur district, Adhikari said this smugness and overconfidence led to lack of understanding of the emerging ground situation.

“As we did well in the first two poll phases in these parts of assembly segments, many of our leaders became smug and overconfident. They started believing that the BJP will secure 170-180 seats in the elections, but they did not do the groundwork. This cost us dearly,” the TMC turncoat said.

He said continuing work at the ground level was equally important as setting up targets, which was realistic but needed hard work.

Reacting to Adhikari’s claims, Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said, “Suvendu has conveniently forgotten the slew of social welfare projects and a spree of development by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and the mandate against BJP heavyweights’ sustained campaign against the CM and TMC.”

“The BJP was living in a fool’s paradise as many of their leaders predicted that the saffron camp will cross 200 seats. Why he is finding fault with others? Didn’t Suvendu also boast repeatedly that his party will get 180 seats at least? Actually, they don’t know the pulse of Bengal, Trinamool does,” Ghosh, the state general secretary of the TMC, said.
