New Delhi: Union Minister Vijay Goel's tweet in praise of "Dangal" star Zaira Wasim backfired today as the teen bluntly told him off for "discourteous depiction".
The Sports Minister had tweeted a photo from the India Art Fest of a painting depicting a woman in a hijab and another symbolically inside a cage. The tweet, now deleted, read: "This painting tells a story similar to @zairawasim. Pinjara tod kar humari betiyaan badhne lagi hai aage. More power to our daughters!"
Mr Goel then responded that the teen had "interpreted wrong" and that he had appreciated her work and said that "evil and patriarchal notions must be discouraged."
He also tweeted: "I'm afraid you still haven't understood. But I wish you all the very best and appreciate your work. Hope to meet & interact too."
