Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Monday posted on his Twitter account a picture with six women Members of Parliament and wrote: \u201cWho says the Lok Sabha isn\u2019t an attractive place to work? With six of my fellow MPs this morning\u201d.<\/p>\n
In the picture were Trinamool Congress MPs Nusrat Jahan and Mimi Chakraborty, NCP\u2019s Supriya Sule and Congress MPs Preneet Kaur and Jothimani, and DMK\u2019s Tamizhachi Thangapandia. Preneet Kaur is Amarinder Singh\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n
Many responded negatively to the tweet, leading to Tharoor tweeting an apology. \u201cThe whole selfie thing was done (at the women MPs’ initiative) in great good humour & it was they who asked me to tweet it in the same spirit. I am sorry some people are offended but i was happy to be roped in to this show of workplace camaraderie. That’s all this is,\u201d Tharoor later clarified in another post.<\/p>\n
His tweet with the picture of women MPs was criticised for being insensitive, and for \u201creducing elected political leaders to their looks\u201d. Some also said it was objectification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
