IANS
Ranchi, 08 Aug 2012: Posters put by an outfit in the Jharkhand capital have threatened acid attacks on girls and women who wear jeans or do not wear a dupatta. The police said it could be a case of mischief.
The handwritten posters, put up by Jharkhand Mukti Sangh at several points in the city, including St. Xavier’s College and Albert Ekka roundabout, read: "From 20/8/2012 (Aug 20), jeans have been banned for girls. Any girl will be found wearing jeans and moving without dupatta will be attacked with acid."
The poster also warns against displacing people for industrialisation. "Companies involved in land acquisition will be attacked," it said.
"We have heard about about this outfit for the first time. This can be a case of mischief. We are trying to trace the people involved," a police officer told IANS.

It is unfortunate JM S is opposing wearing of JEANs. In this country other than the government, oppose many things in the name of organizations. The government is bone-less to make Registration fo Organizations cumpulsaor and to take action for unlawful acts like this and also punish the leadrs of such organizations for taking law into their hands! Is there Law and order in this Country. One does not have the liberty towear the dress they like? indecency is to be regulated by Government and not by unruly elements. The Government must be firm on these matters of rights and liberty s. |
