Chinmayi's initiative gains momentum
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 07 2017]
Singer Chinmayi, who has been at the receiving end of rape threats on social media in the past, is also facing a tough time with threats from the Suchithra Karthik Kumar twitter hacker.
Chinmayi has started a campaign "RAPE THREATS NOT OK" in Change.org insisting that twitter should go in for a large scale shutdown of accounts that promote threat against women. She has likened the attack on women to that of terrorism.
The singer and voice artiste has stated that she has been threatened with tweets such as "You need to be raped", "I'll throw acid on your face" and "I'll make sure you never sing again" whenever she voices her opinion for a cause. Her campaign has garnered an impressive forty thousand signatures in 36 hours. Laudable effort.
