After posting the picture with this caption the Congress MP got accused of posting a sexist and offensive tweet.
The tweet immediately drew attention many people are pointing out the sexism in the caption and queering of the equality discourse.

Incredible that someone as exposed to equality discourse as @ShashiTharoor would attempt to reduce elected political leaders to their looks, and centre himself in the comment to boot. This is 2021, folks. https://t.co/aPJ3NK4sCW
