Indian Women's Press Corps today expressed "shock and outrage" over the way a leading media outlet has responded to criticism in a write up on Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone.
"The Indian Women's Press Corps (IWPC) expresses its shock and outrage over the manner in which a leading media house has sought to justify the objectification of women, in its response to objections raised by a female actor of the Mumbai film industry," IWPC said in a press statement.
"Rather than display a sense of sensitivity to the issue, the concerned daily has justified itself in the most outrageous manner. The media should not, under the garb of a libertarian understanding, portray women in a light which is actually regressive," said the organisation of female journalists' in their statement.
