Remember the recent moral-policing episode from Kolkata where a mob beat up a couple for hugging in a metro? The nationwide outrage against the incident hasn't even died down yet, and another similar incident is already here.

This time, we are fighting over what girls should wear to table tennis games.

On Wednesday, as Anandabazar Patrika reports, a group of angry women barged into the premises of a local sports club in Howrah's Shibpur area in West Bengal.

What was their problem? Well, they were not happy with what girls were wearing to practice table tennis at this club.

"Some 10-15 women barged into the club during class hours on Wednesday evening. Their problem was that girls at the club came to play wearing 'immodest' T-shirts and shorts, and that should stop," club member Dipak Mukherjee told Anandabazar Patrika.

Here, we should mention that these girls that they are talking about, the female students at the club, are aged between eight to 12. So basically, these women felt children wearing half-pants/shorts was "immodest".

The protest had left the club authorities and wards of the students in much shock. However, when the women refused to back down, the club authorities were forced to shut down the practice.

The report says the protesting women had even pulled down the fence around the table tennis boards, and continued using indecent language in front of the children.

"I don't know the women who created this chaos. At this club, though, we have no rule that says girls cannot play table tennis wearing shorts," said the club's coach, Debashish Adhikari.

"We have boy and girls aged between 8-12 learning table tennis here. The incident that took place in front of them the other day is shameful," Adhikari added.

Club manager Debashish Nanda, however, said that the protesting women were actually associated with the club, and the incident blew out of proportion because of their personal issues.

This incident came right on the heels of the whole 'hugging in the metro' debacle on Monday, which left people in the state and across the country quite annoyed with those condoning moral-policing.
