It's only in the fitness of things that Modi found this cartoonist, whose works are defined by nauseous grossness, adorable. By no stretch, it's a deviation. Far from that: 'Hall of shame – Serial abusers, sexist bigots, rumour mongers followed by PM Modi on Twitter' at < https://www.altnews.in/hall-shame-serial-abusers-sexist-bigots-rumour-mongers-followed-pm-modi-twitter/ > and 'Is It Right For A PM To Follow Serial Abusers And Hate Mongers On Social Media?' at < https://www.rvcj.com/right-pm-follow-serial-abusers-hate-mongers-social-media/ >.] https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/pm-modi-just-praised-an-artist-who-reeks-of-bigotry-misogyny-communalism-344984.html PM Modi Just Praised An Artist Who Reeks Of Bigotry, Misogyny & Communalism Shweta Sengar Updated: May 08, 2018 6.2K SHARES FACEBOOK TWITTER REDDIT SAVE Prime Minister Narendra Modi retweeted a sketch of himself drawn by a cartoonist. The artwork was inspired by Modi’s rally in Mangaluru, ahead of the state assembly elections in Karnataka. “Lovely gesture Kshitij. Thank you. You are an extremely talented artist”, tweeted Modi. He thanked the cartoonist, Kshitij Bajpai, who regularly posts his work on Twitter. View image on Twitter View image on Twitter Kshitij Bajpai @KSHITIJartoons @PMOIndia @narendramodi Sir, here is a sketch I penned of yours from your Mangaluru rally. My best wishes as you work tirelessly to transform India. #MyPM #WeLoveModi 1:36 PM - May 6, 2018 1,233 515 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy However, this time the prime minister seems to be unaware of Bajpai’s previous work. If one looks at the cartoonist’s work on his Twitter timeline, one could see that he is blatantly misogynistic, unashamedly communal and transparently propagates anti-Muslim agenda. Bajpai’s artworks reek of bigotry, hatred for women and abhorrence for Muslims. His cartoons are repugnant and discourteous, portraying political leaders, particularly of opposition parties in a loathsome, hideous and vile manner. Take a look at some of his sketches: embed The Bollywood community was vocal over the monstrous rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir. In a reference to the actresses who outraged over the incident, they are referred to as prostitutes. The cartoonist tweeted the hashtags #BollywoodProstitute and #BollywoodSlut along with his cartoon on the subject. embed View image on Twitter View image on Twitter Kshitij Bajpai @KSHITIJartoons #Bollywood my #cartoon 10:15 PM - Apr 15, 2018 22 See Kshitij Bajpai's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy In another cartoon, he unambiguously targets actresses Swara Bhaskar, Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Huma Qureshi and Richa Chadda. While rapes and sexual harassment are the key subjects of Bajpai’s works, his cartoons on these are extremely distasteful and malicious. #Hinduism #Islam pic.twitter.com/DACtRj2cul — Kshitij Bajpai (@KSHITIJartoons) October 3, 2017 embed In of the cartoons, a man wearing a skull cap is shown urinating on a wall with Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan written over it. #Pollution #PollutionFreeEnvironmentWithMSG my #cartoon pic.twitter.com/2JVSnQq5y9 — Kshitij Bajpai (@KSHITIJartoons) May 2, 2018 This cartoon of the Taj Mahal is an epitome of racism and bigotry. embed There are a number of other cartoons targeting leaders from the opposition. Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is his favourite subject. embed embed embed embed PM Modi’s Twitter handle’s association with trolls and controversial pages is not new, and he has even been called out for that. It is disconcerting to see Modi lauding the cartoonist despite his nature of work. His party has defended him saying that the prime minister believes in freedom of speech and does not unfollow anyone. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
