While responding to the tweet of Smita Prakash, editor of news agency ANI, Irani said that 'even I said this in the house'.
On August 5, 2019, during the debate to pass the Jammu and Kashmir (Reorganisation) Bill 2019 in the Lok Sabha, Congress MP Manish Tewari mentioned the popular 2011 romance novel 'Fifty Shades of Grey' in his speech. While responding to Hime Minister Amit Shah's question of whether the Congress party is against or in support of the abrogation of Article 379, Tewari said, "Ek angrezi ki kitaab hai, har cheez kali aur safed nahi hoti (according to an English novel, everything is not in black and white). There are fifty shades of grey in between."
