JAMMU: While the Prime Minister is making all out efforts to aware people of internet boon and dreaming to develop a ‘Digital India’, the BJP leaders in Jammu and Kashmir on the other hand are ‘misusing’ the technology by getting their pictures morphed with the help of software and posing with Narendra Modi on social media , especially the Facebook.
The BJP leaders can be seen using their cropped pictures and pasting on the Facebook to attract the friend list besides luring likes and comments.
[box radius=”3″]SHOWING OFF POLITICAL CONNECTIONS It is not an isolated instance wherein the overzealous activists are making showoff with BJP bigwigs to browbeat those at helm. Generally such tactics end up in misusing political connections. The BJP has already once experienced such living case that of its Mahila Morcha President Poonam Sharma, who is booked in stamp papers forgery case registered the Pacca Danga Police Station. Police has apparently put the case on hold, as the investigations appear to have been stalled due to political pressure. Who knows this pressure may end up in hushing up the case?[/box]In one of the examples of such a kind, a leader of J&K BJP Mahila Morcha is seen posing with the Prime Minister in an alleged morphed picture, which can be seen by searching the Facebook accounts.
The senior lady has posted two pictures. In the first she has posed herself with the Prime Minister and in the second picture, she has fitted herself so smartly in a frame (photoshop) that the viewer can find her in first go speaking to media with Modi. The shutterbugs are also shown in the picture clicking both of them. Moreover, it is not only the lone case to be reported but most of the BJP’s ‘self styled’ activists and workers-have posted their pictures with the Prime Minister shaking hands or welcoming him with bouquets and bunch of flowers during his visits to Jammu in the recent past.
“It is not wrong to pose with a leader one admires but one should not do it fraudulently,” said an internet savvy.
There is no harm in falling for someone or being a fan of a politician, actor, singer or any other personality but by posing such ‘fake pictures’, one is not only cheating himself/herself but also the person concerned.
“The Prime Minister is trying his best to make people aware of use of technology in most of his addresses across the country but the misuse-that too by the members of the party to which Modi representing is not right,” said a social media follower.
He however, advised such people that instead of posting such ‘morphed’ pictures just to catch attention and couple of likes/comments on social media, they should make people knowledgeable of boons and banes of social media vis-à-vis internet.
