Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his recent ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme asked people to share selfies with their daughters using hashtag #SelfieWithDaughter. The #SelfieWithDaughter initiative was a part of campaign against female infanticide. With people’s active participation in the campaign, the hashtag was trending among top trends on micro-blogging website Twitter. But there were dissenting voices too against the initiative.
SelfieWithDaughter: This one will haunt him for ever..Posted by Nishrin Jafri Hussain on Sunday, June 28, 2015
Nishrin Jafri Hussain, daughter of Ehsan Jafri who was killed in Gujarat riots in 2002, shared a picture with her late father, along with a hard-hitting caption. It read: “SelfieWithDaughter: This one will haunt him for ever.”
Ehsan Jafri was a former MP of the Congress party, who was murdered in the infamous Gulbarg society massacre in 2002 where 69 Muslims were mercilessly killed by a riotous Hindu mob. The horrific incident and communal riots happened when Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of the Gujarat. Ehsan Jafri’s widow Zakia Jafri accused Gujarat police and the then CM Modi of turning a blind eye to the riotous mob, which finally led to the death his husband and other Muslims.
