On Tuesday, Smriti Irani took to her social media, to post a series of tweets, issuing a statement regarding the remarks, she had made at a Q&A in Mumbai, which went viral:

"I respect that stand by the Zoroastrian community / priests and do not approach any court for a right to pray as a mother of 2 Zoroastrian children. Similarly Parsi or non Parsi menstruating women irrespective of age DO NOT go to a Fire Temple. These are 2 factual statements. Rest of the propaganda / agenda being launched using me as bait is well just that ... bait."

"As far as those who jump the gun regarding women visiting friend’s place with a sanitary napkin dipped in menstrual blood — I am yet to find a person who ‘takes’ a blood soaked napkin to ‘offer’ to any one let alone a friend. But what fascinates me though does not surprise me is that as a woman I am not free to have my own point of view. As long as I conform to the ‘liberal’ point of view I’m acceptable. How Liberal is that ??"

Meanwhile, this is not the first time that the former HRD Minister has posted hilarious memes in order to keep up with the social media trends. Union Minister Smriti Irani is quite active on Instagram, posting funny memes and throwback pictures from her acting days on Indian television.
