Muslim clerics lash out at ‘half-naked’ Mirza
Muslim clerics sharply criticised Indian tennis star Sania Mirza on Friday for wearing short skirts on court, accusing the teenager of being a ‘corrupting influence on young women’.
‘Sania Mirza is a Muslim and she stands half-naked on the tennis court while playing, which is against Islam,’ Siddikulla Chowdhury, secretary of the Jamiat-Ulama-Hind Islamic movement in Kolkata, told AFP by telephone.
‘She is trying to ape some Western tennis players who dress in a similar way,’ said Chowdhury, whose group has a strong base in two eastern states.
‘The dress she wears on the tennis court not only doesn’t cover large parts of her body but leaves nothing to the imagination of voyeurs,’ another cleric, Maulana Hasheeb-ul-Hasan Siddiqui, told the Hindustan Times daily.
