New Delhi: The Welfare party of India disagrees with the decision of the Supreme Court that nude picture of a woman is not obscene in itself, while referring to a case in which a nude photograph of Boris Becker’s fiancée was displayed.
Sheema Mohsin, National Convener of women’s wing said that the decision of the Supreme Court that only such materials can be held obscene which have a tendency of exciting lustful thoughts is incorrect and said any display of woman in such a manner is demeaning and degrading womanhood.
“The verdict of the Apex court that the nude picture of a woman is suggestive of deprave mind and designed to excite lustful passion depends on the background in which the photograph was taken is absurd,” she said and added that irrespective of the intentions or motives at the time the photograph was taken can still be harmful and can incite evil passions which is one of the reasons of alarmingly increase in the atrocities on woman.
She also disagrees with the Apex court, which justified that the photograph was a mark of protest against the practice of Apartheid as Mr. Becker is a white man and his fiancée a black woman.
Sheema Mohsin said that Apartheid is an obnoxious practice and a clear violation of human rights which has to be condemned in severest of words but displaying a nude photograph of a white man and a black woman is surely no way to convey this she said.
