<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->On 8 February 2006, there was news of Husain's apology and withdrawal of his derogatory painting of Bharatmata (Mother India) from an international auction. (The website of the auction even now shows that the painting has been withdrawn.) However, just a few hours later, in an interview on CNN IBN TV channel, it was stated that the derogatory painting has been sold in the auction.
If this is not deception and callous disregard for public sentiment, what is?
The interview was with Dr. Durgesh Samant (national spokesperson for Hindu Janjagruti Samiti, a forum of individuals and organizations that are working together to uphold Hindu Dharma) and Ms. Nafisa Ali (a social activist of the Action India organization, beneficiary of international auction proceeds). During this interview, Ms. Ali said that the painting was sold in the auction, benefiting their cause. She stated that the Bharatmata painting was beautiful, depicting Mother India in the purest form, symbolizing what India needs - female power.
Ms. Ali also advised Hindu groups to act for social welfare rather than protesting a painting, which is anyway sold. According to Ms. Ali, there is really no issue; it is apologized for and the exhibition is over.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
She should tell this to her Muslim brothers in India and rest of world. She should first fight for women right in AMU.
SOmebody should paint her naked picture with Hussain, which will show beauty and power of both perverts.
