‘Looking for ex-MP? Contact US’: Smriti Irani’s retort after Congress shares her ‘missing’ poster

हे दिव्य राजनीतिक प्राणी , मैं अभी सिरसिरा गाँव , विधान सभा सलोन , लोक सभा अमेठी से निकली हूँ धूरनपुर की ओर । अगर पूर्व सांसद को ढूँढ रहे हो तो कृपया अमेरिका संपर्क करें । https://t.co/2rEUKLPCK8

Earlier in the day, the Congress had taken a veiled jibe at Women and Child Development Minister for her silence on the wrestlers’ protest by sharing a poster of Irani with “missing” written on the top. The wrestlers have been holding a protest against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) demanding the arrest of its chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, on the grounds of sexual harassment of female athletes, including a minor.

In another tweet, the Congress posted a collage of Irani and fellow BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi’s pictures. The text below Irani’s picture read “one hides the tweets”, while caption of Lekhi’s picture said “one who runs”.
