Fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee for using « half-naked models » for an advertisement for the Mangalsutra collection and hurting religious feelings. Dubey said in his statement that advertising for the entire Hindu community as well as Hindu marriage is completely outrageous and requested that the advertisement be removed within 15 days. I say this in your social media advertising posts with models posing alone or in intimate positions with others. One image shows a female model wearing a black bra, and Sabyasachi`s Mangalsutra, while her head rests on a shirtless male model, is completely outrageous for the entire Hindu community as well as for Hindu marriage, » Dubey`s statement reads. The BJP`s legal adviser went on to say in the statement: « The Mangalsutra symbolises that the bride and groom will be lifelong partners until death separates them and you issue the `Mangalsutra` in an obscene manner is outrageous and baseless. » I say that since you used « half-naked models for a Mangalsutra advertisement », it is outrageous that these are Hindu marriage feelings because the term Mangalsutra is a combination of two words Mangal and Sutra.
The word mangal means auspicious and sutra means thread – together mangalsutra means a thread of good omen that unites souls and the groom binds the thread of good omen around the bride`s neck on her sacred wedding day, meaning that their relationship would be as auspicious as the thread. It symbolizes that they will be friends for life until death separates them and you issue the `Mangalsutra` in an obscene way is outrageous and baseless, » he said. He went on to say that a « Mangalsutra » is a symbol of marriage and that the woman should wear it all her life, indicating the love and commitment of husband and wife to each other, while adding that in the advertising campaign it showed a half-naked couple for a Mangalsutra advertisement that scandalizes Hindu marriage. « I say that in India, the majority of people associate mangalsutra with a religious custom, there is also a solid scientific justification behind it. Hindu culture emphasizes wearing a pure gold mangal sutra and it is often recommended that the mangalsutra be hidden behind the inside, and your promotional ads feature heterosexual and same-sex couples posing for photos and wearing the Royal Bengal Mangalsutra, which is part of the designer`s intimate jewelry collection. These photos also show models dressed in intimate clothes and wearing a mangal sutra, which is outrageous and hurts religious feelings, » he added. He also asked fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee to take over the advertisement posted on social media and apologize to people. I therefore ask you through this communication that this sacred relationship of « Hindu marriage » be removed and excused from the public by producing obscene things like on « Mangalsutra », with a clue within the 15-day period if I do not give you clear instructions to publish the public statement and remove the half-naked models for a Mangalsutra ad » or anything obscene related to the holy Hindu marriage « Mangalsutra » and Apologies to the public otherwise you assume full responsibility for all costs, risks, liabilities, expenses and their consequences. Please pay special attention, » he said in the statement.
