Women's Protest against Aniruddhacharya Statement : During a religious program, narrator Aniruddhacharya made controversial remarks about the marriage age of girls and their social behavior. He said that "Girls should get married before the age of 25, otherwise they have 4-5 boyfriends." Along with this, he blamed today's lifestyle and social media for instability in the married life of girls.
Anger among women and social organizationsWomen's organizations and social workers in Prayagraj have lodged a strong protest against Aniruddhacharya's statement. They say that this statement is a direct attack on the dignity and freedom of women.
Women said that such statements from a religious platform are not only insensitive but also push society backwards.
Warning of entry ban in PrayagrajThe women of Prayagraj clearly said that if Aniruddhacharya does not apologize, he will not be allowed to enter the city. Also, women and girls across the country were appealed to boycott his events.
Aniruddhacharya apologized, but the debate still continuesSeeing the growing opposition, Aniruddhacharya has apologized. However, this statement has once again raised the question whether religious platforms should be used for making objectionable comments on women?
Where is the place for such thinking in society?This controversy is not limited to just one statement, but it challenges the thinking that looks narrowly at women's freedom, their decisions and lifestyle. The question is whether religious leaders should use their platform to strengthen social values or to take them back?
