India Today
Samajwadi Party’s Manish Jagan Agrawal was schooled on Twitter for calling a Manipur girl a foreign tourist.
Samajwadi Party leader Manish Jagan Agrawal mistook Manipur girl Licypriya Kangujam for a foreign tourist and attacked the BJP using her photograph near the Taj Mahal. Licypriya and others schooled Agrawal on Twitter.
Licypriya had tweeted a photograph of hers showing plastic pollution near the Taj Mahal. The Samajwadi Party's digital media coordinator, Manish Jagan Agrawal, attacked the Uttar Pradesh government with the photo.
"Foreign tourists are also forced to show the mirror to the BJP government of the state. Yamuna is full of filth under the BJP government and is a blot on the beauty of Taj Mahal. Foreign tourist showing mirror to the government is very shameful...(sic)," he tweeted, using Licypriya's photo.
