Hijab Controversy in France: Eiffel Tower Ad Sparks Outrage
A Dutch modest fashion brand, Merrachi, ne apne ek promotional video se France mein halla macha diya hai. Is video mein Eiffel Tower ko hijab mein lapeta hua dikhaya gaya hai, jisse French politicians kaafi naaraz hain. Unka kehna hai ki yeh ad “French values” ke khilaf hai aur “khatarnaak” hai.
Merrachi’s Pro-Hijab Campaign Stirs Debate
Merrachi ne yeh ad apne pro-hijab campaign ke tahat Instagram par share kiya tha. Caption mein likha tha, “Spotted: The Eiffel Tower wearing MERRACHI, mashallah! Looks like she just joined the modest fashion community.” Yeh ad dekhte hi dekhte viral ho gaya aur France mein charcha ka vishay ban gaya.
French Politicians Express Discontent
Right-wing National Rally party ki French MP, Lisette Pollet ne is ad ko France ke “democratic values and heritage” ke liye offensive bataya. Unhone X par likha, “Unacceptable! The Eiffel Tower, the symbol of France, has been hijacked by the Merrachi brand, which covers it with an Islamic veil in a provocative advertisement.” Unke party colleague, Jerome Buisson ne bhi is ad ko “terrifying political project” aur “unacceptable provocation” kaha.
Calls for Action Against Merrachi
Economist Philippe Murer, jo Citizens’ Political Movement ke co-founder hain, ne toh hadd hi kar di. Unhone demand ki hai ki France mein Merrachi ke stores band kar diye jayen aur uski website block kar di jaye. Clearly, yeh mamla kaafi garam ho gaya hai.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
Social media par is ad ko lekar mixed reactions hain. Kuch log is ad ki tarif kar rahe hain aur ise creative aur brilliant marketing move batate hain, toh kuch log ise offensive samajh rahe hain. Kuch users ka kehna hai ki yeh ad France ki Muslim women’s religious practices par policies ko challenge karega aur important issues par dhyan dilaega.
France’s History with Muslim Clothing
France ka Muslim clothing ke saath rishta kaafi complicated raha hai. 2004 mein France ne public schools mein hijab jaise religious symbols pehenne par ban laga diya tha. 2010 mein burqa aur niqab jaise face coverings par bhi public places mein ban laga diya gaya. Abhi recently, French government ne state-run schools mein abayas pehenne par bhi ban laga diya hai.
