Sushma Swaraj's 'Iran Look' Fires Up Twitter, Invites Criticism

  • Sushma Swaraj's 'Iran Look' Fires Up Twitter, Invites Criticism
Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's look in Iran - draped in pink from head to toe - has been extensively critiqued online.
 
Images of Ms Swaraj in a pink sari and matching shawl at a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani have gone viral and fed a debate on whether she was right to cover her head.
 
Comments ranged from lacerating to mildly disapproving to supportive.
 
 
Some users compared Swaraj’s look with other women who have met Rouhani in the past. A combination picture tweeted by @padhalikha showing woman ministers of other countries meeting Rouhani went viral.
 
Another Twitter user @AAPkSaath posted picture of CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour interviewing Rouhani without a scarf.
