Swamy's advice to Vadra: Focus on staying out of jail, avoid politicking

Hitting back at Robert Vadra for the criticism of his tweet on waiters, BJP leader BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Saturday said Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law should concentrate on staying out of jail instead of commenting on political issues.

"I think Mr.Vadra should concentrate on staying out of jail and not comment on political issues," Swamy told the reporters here.

Swamy's reaction on Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law came after he said criticised Swamy for 'undermining' waiters, by condescending and derogatory remarks about them is deplorable and classist.

"So is there no dignity in being a Waiter?! The attention seeking BJP MP Swamy's comment "Ministers who wear a coat and tie "look like waiters" and must be instructed to wear Indian clothes." Undermining waiters who work hard for a living; making condescending and derogatory remarks about them is deplorable and classist," Vadra said on Facebook.

Vadra's attack on Swamy came after the BJP leader appealed his party to direct the "Ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian clothes while abroad" and added that "in coat and tie they look like waiters."

In another apparent swipe at Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, whose photographs of meeting with the Bank of China Chairman Tian Guoli in Beijing in a lounge suit appeared in newspapers, Swamy asked BJP to advise ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian cloths when abroad.

Swamy has been critical of the Finance Ministry over the past couple of days and has been mounting attacks on its officials via Twitter.
