Delhi Police's Mother's Day Post Triggers Gender Debate

Mother’s Day is a special occasion commemorated annually on the second Sunday of May to honour the women in our lives who have nurtured and raised us. This year, the day was celebrated on May 12th. One of the toughest jobs on earth is to be a Mother. Our moms put their heart and soul into raising us. On the occasion, a new adorable picture is currently gaining traction on social media capturing a wholesome moment of a female officer and her son.

Taking to their official X account, the Delhi Police dropped a candid picture of a female cop accompanied by her son during her working hours on Mother’s Day. The snapshot features, a cop performing her duties in the Police uniform while holding her cute toddler at her back in a baby sling. “Today, Ockar decided to give company to his mother at work,” the post caption reads.

The post from Delhi Police has gathered mixed reactions from the users. While some people showered love on the mother and her son, some expressed their disappointment. A user wrote, “Ockar is so cute.” Another wrote, “Mentally strong enough to handle all situations, salute to such people.” Another user added, “Wholesome (red heart emoticon).”

One of the users wrote, “Proud of you Happy Mother’s Day.” A person wrote, “Salute to mam for all her contributions to the nation.” Another comment read, “Best Mother’s Day photo I saw today.”

Some users asked the Delhi Police to make special arrangements for the kids who have working mothers. “Delhi police must make arrangement of crèche for the children. It’s your duty,” a comment read.

Some of them expressed their disappointment over fathers not being allowed to bring their kids to work. “You’re spreading fake propaganda against fathers. Never forget the father’s sacrifices for the child,” a person wrote. “Will they allow fathers too, on Father’s Day? Or the pandering is only limited to women?” one of the comments read.

The post has gathered more than 2 lakh views on X since the time it was shared and the numbers are gradually increasing. What’s your take on this?
