Bharatiya Janata Party leader Varun Gandhi reached out to a television journalist who was at the receiving end of singer Abhijeet's unwanted social media attention.

"Irrespective of political ideology, one needs to be mindful of a woman's dignity. This sort of crass bullying is shameful," Gandhi tweeted tagging the journalist.
