Referring to me as 'wife', speaks volumes about your conditioning: Sona hits out at Sonu

Sona Mohapatra on Thursday shot back at Sonu Nigam, saying that by addressing her relationship with a man to describe her identity speaks volumes about his "conditioning and world view". Giving a point-by-point rebuttal to Nigam's comments where he labelled her criticism of his reported defence of #MeToo accused Anu Malik as "vomiting on Twitter", Mohapatra said the remarks were in "bad taste". "To define me on basis of a relationship with another person & not as an individual, going to the extension of memory loss for my name; a gift of patriarchal conditioning. "To refer to my opinions and stand in the #MeToo movement as vomiting'; bad taste," she wrote. In a statement on Thursday, Sonu said, "The respectable lady vomiting on Twitter, is the wife of someone who I consider very close to me, so although she's has forgotten the relationship, I'd like to maintain the decorum."

Kim shoots Trump dead in S Korea art satire

Kim Jong Un, with a smoking pistol in his hand, looks down at the dead body of Donald Trump, sprawled on a red carpet next to a metal bag overflowing with US dollars. Behind the North Korean leader glows a neon slogan saying "The show must go on!" The scene is part of an installation art exhibition in Seoul -- a satire of the diplomacy over the Korean peninsula that has become "a big political show featuring two of the world's biggest showmen." The piece by South Korean artist Lim Young-sun marks the end of a whirlwind year on the flashpoint peninsula, during which Kim and Trump traded threats of war and personal attacks against each other -- before their dramatic, first summit in Singapore. The colourful war of words between the leaders of the impoverished but nuclear-armed North and the world's top superpower -- as well as their highly-publicised summit in June -- dominated global headlines this year. "I just wanted to show our political reality we live in, in which citizens get ...
