New Delhi, 31 jan 2015: Former Press Council chairman Markandey Katju faced criticism on social media after he tweeted that Shazia Ilmi was much more beautiful than Kiran Bedi and if Shazia was made the CM candidate for Delhi assembly polls, BJP would have won the elections.
The former Press Council chief further said in his tweet that people vote for beautiful faces, adding, someone like him who does not vote would also have voted for Shazia.
Markandey Katju’s tweet evoked strong reactions on the Twitter.
He was slammed for his views, which were dubbed sexist by many.
As outrage poured, Justice Markandey Katju tweeted a clarification.
The former Press Council chairman urged critics to develop a sense of humour and claimed that his remarks were in a lighter vein and should be seen as such.
This is not the first time that Markandey Katju has faced criticism for his reactions.

| It is a very good tweeting by Justice katju. Beauty has been appreciated by every human being and he is not wrong to said that people consider beauty as an important facit of Leadership because it is also a God s gift. Not that Mrs Bedi is not beautiful. The forcast of media is an indication about the election results. In my view the BJP cannot be always right and Mr Amith Shah cannot always hit century in every innings. | |
