Responding to Milind Deora, a Twitter user replied, "We live in a country where women born under the influence of Mars must marry banana plants"
Congress leader Milind Deora's swipe at "wokeness" after a Gujarat girl announced plans to marry herself drew a sharp counter on Twitter, as a user flagged superstitious rituals such as marrying trees on astrologers' advice. I have said it before — ‘wokeness' borders on insanity.Let's hope it stays far, far away from India. https://t.co/7zqleDXbwQ Mr. Deora, we live in a country where women born under the influence of Mars must marry banana plants, peepal trees, dogs and clay pots so their negative influence is not transferred to their future husbands. If "wokeness" is insanity, what do you call these customary practices?
Sharing a news report about Kshama Bindu, a 24-year-old woman from Gujarat's Vadodara who has said she would marry herself on June 11, Mr Deora tweeted, "I have said it before -- 'wokeness' borders on insanity. Let's hope it stays far, far away from India."
In the comments section, many agreed with the Congress leader and others were confused on how to react. But one user came up with sharp reply.
