A war of words broke out on Twitter between HRD Minister Smriti Irani and Congress leader Priyanka Chaturvedi on Monday.
In a tweet, Ms. Chaturvedi, while interacting with another person mentioned the HRD minister and said “a perceived threat to @smritiirani’s life gets Z sec, here I am struggling to get rape/death threat investigated.”
Ms. Irani responded by saying she does not have ‘Z’ category security. Ms. Chaturvedi stated that she didn’t know the internal workings of Home Ministry and went as per newspaper reports. Here’s what ensued:
Madam I don't know the internal workings of Home Ministry, i go as per newspaper reports. I presume no security at all then >@smritiirani ?
