Bangladesh: A picture shared by Bangladeshi Photographer Jibon Ahmed on his social media handle hasn’t gone viral but also made him pay the price. What’s there in that sensational/controversial pic?
A Young Couple were captured kissing publicly at the Dhaka University. Jibon Ahmed captioned the pic: ‘This is a poem of the blessed rains, let love be free’.
In a country where Secular Nationalism and Islamism have been battling each other, This Kissing Photograph created a storm. There are people who appreciated the lovely moment. A Twitter User opined the pic is real Bangladesh and only such kind of love can destroy Islami Fundamentalism.
On the other hand, Haters came to know about the whereabouts of Jibon Ahmed and thrashed him. Shockingly, there were photographers among those who had beaten him at Dhaka University. The news website for which Jibon Ahmed works had even fired him after this controversy.
This isn’t the first time Jibon Ahmed made headlines. He was thrashed by Islamists in 2015 for helping Bangladeshi-American atheist blogger Avijit Roy and his wife reach the hospital after they were attacked.
