For raising pointless objections on Twitter to the Prime Minister’s Teachers’ Day address

Never one to exercise much restraint in the calmest of times, Tewari stooped to a new low in political debate on the micro-blogging site Twitter with this: ‘Heard class 1 to 5 have been exempted from Prime Minister’s pravachan (sermon) on 5th September. Is it because it would be a while before they are voters?’

He also had another question to pose that he assumed would be a burning issue of high constitutional relevance: ‘Why is the Prime Minister’s September 5 pravachan not made optional for all schools and all children? Freedom not to hear is a fundamental right.’ Now that is something one could easily say of having to put up with his frequent fulminations over non-issues. Please gain some gravitas!
