New Delhi: Actor-turned-politician Mimi Chakraborty and Nusrat Jahan, the first-time TMC MPs, became the subjects of ridicule on social media for their choice of clothes in Parliament.
Breaking the undeclared dress codes, both landed in Parliament on Monday sporting pants and tops, which was considered inappropriate by a section of netizens.
Trollers tore into the political greenhorns, thundering that “Parliament is not a photo studio”, while another user slammed Mimi Chakraborty saying “she is not suitable for the position”.
But there were many who came out in support of them. One user praised Jahan for her “attitude”. Another one congratulated her on her victory and encouraged her to “work like a lioness”.
Chakraborty, 30, won from Kolkata’s Jadavpur, by over almost 3 lakh votes. Nusrat Jahan, 29, won from the Basirhat seat by over 3.5 lakh votes.
Trinamool Congress had won both seats by a margin of less than 1,30,000 in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
