Dangal actor Zaira Wasim, who has been trolled in social media after Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti called her ‘role model’, on Friday, had a fresh Twitter spat with Union Minister Vijay Goel.
The BJP leader tweeted a painting of a Burqa-cladded woman, tagging Zaira Wasim in the comment. This painting tells a story similar to @zairawasim, our daughters are breaking the cages of oppression. More power to our daughters! .”
BJP, a right-wing conservative party in the Sangh brigade with a prolonged history of patriarchy and misogyny, tried to fish in the muddy water with the patronising effort.
Dangal girl gave Goel an apt reply through a series of tweets:
Vijay Goel’s tweet is the latest example of mainstream India’s long-term tryst with the ‘good Kashmiri, bad Kashmiri’ theory.
