Dr Anees Ahmed, former Maharashtra Minister has demanded imposing ban on and action against those running ‘Bulli Bai’ App.
Dr Ahmed has written to the President of India and Union Home Minister, informing them that the App projects Muslims, particularly women in an insensitive and derogatory manner.
Once the App is opened, a Muslim woman’s picture s randomly displayed as Bulli Bai. Muslim women with a strong presence on Twitter have been singled out and their photographs uploaded. Hundreds of Muslim women were listed for auction. It has happened for the second time in less than a year. The App appears to be clone to Sulli Deals, which triggered a similar row last year.
Dr Ahmed has appealed to lodge an FIR and cyber cell to book the culprit immediately.
