New Delhi: National Commission for Women (NCW) chief Rekha Sharma was caught in eye of storm after tweeting about her meeting with Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari, with regard to rising cases of ‘Love Jihad’ in the state.
Soon after the tweet, many questioned the NCW Chief’s meet over an issue like ‘Love Jihad’ when atrocities on women are on the rise.
After a major backlash, specifically when twitter users dug out old tweets of Sharma poking fun of politicians, including Modi and some other sexist tweets, she deleted all her tweets.
The Twitter profile of Rekha Sharma has now been locked it says “the tweets are protected”.
Some of the tweets of Rekha Sharma shared by Twitter users since Tuesday date back to 2012, 2014 in which the NCW chief purportedly can be seen making fun of women, cracking jokes on politicians like Modi and Kejriwal.
In her meeting with the Maharashtra governor, Rekha Sharma highlighted the distinction between a consensual inter-faith marriage and love jihad and said that the latter required attention, the National Commission for Women (NCW) said in a statement.
Many have now pressed for her resignation from the post of NCW Chief
