Saheb's bibi and ghulam

Social media has become the chosen vehicle for the Congress to fire cheap shots at its rivals. Predictably, the party jumped on the opportunity offered by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s snoopgate involving Narendra Modi's close aide Amit Shah to pillory the rival's prime ministerial candidate. A senior Congress leader's Twitter post drew parallels with the Guru Dutt classic Sahib, Bibi aur Ghulam. BJP must answer why "Saheb" was snooping on bibi through his ghulam (servant), the post read. He went on to add that the "bibi" in question referred to a respectable woman and should not be confused with the term for wife.
