Smriti Irani’s hits back with fierce response after her daughter bullied at school
Union minister Smriti Irani wrote a strong post against bullying on Instagram on Friday after her daughter was humiliated and mocked in school. “I deleted my daughter’s selfie yesterday coz an idiot bully in her class, A Jha, mocks her for her looks & tells his pals in class to humiliate her for how she looks in her mother’s insta post,” wrote Irani. She further said that her daughter had asked her to delete the post, which she did. “I obliged coz I could not stand her tears,” the Women and Child Development and Textiles Minister said. But she said she realised that her act of deleting the post actually “empowered” the wrong person. “Then I realised my act just supported the bully,” she wrote, posting a picture of her daughter on Instagram.
