Omar tweets his father is a better mover after seeing BJP leader's moves at Rajghat
"My father is a better dancer than Sushma Swaraj" Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted yesterday as the BJP leader's controversial dance at Rajghat continued to draw comments.
BJP leader Sushma Swaraj breaks into a jig during a protest at Rajghat, while her 'competitor' Union minister Farooq Abdullahu00a0is known for shaking a leg at parties.
Omar's father, Farooq Abdullah, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy and an unconventional politician, is known to break into a jig once in a while at parties. He also sings a song or two in Urdu or Kashmiri.
Omar tweeted yesterday, "having now seen the videos I have no doubt at all that my dad is a better dancer than Sushma Swaraj. Glad dance now acceptable protest."
Sushma Swaraj, leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, broke into an impromptu dance with her party workers during the 24-hour Satyagraha at Rajghat in protest against the crackdown on Baba Ramdev.
"What kind of fast is this when the Leader of the Opposition is dancing along with her friends at Gandhi's Samadhi," Congress general secretary Janardhan Dwivedi said in his reaction yesterday.
Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari had said, "For simple reasons at the samadhi of the Father of the Nation, if you are going to dance into jigs, what kind of sanctity of the place are you maintaining"
