New Delhi, July 8

Health minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Thursday laughed off a question posed to him during the briefing after the first meeting of the revamped union cabinet.

“I have no comments on that,” he said after being asked what he thought of people who trolled him on Twitter all day today over his “articulation and language skills”.

The trolls dug out old tweets of the health minister to mock his proficiency in the English language but were firmly rebutted by several political leaders on Twitter, including Shiv Sena’s Priyanka Chaturvedi who said, “The only criticism you hold against a minister is his proficiency in English rather than his work. It only reflects your shallowness.”

Congress leader Tehseen Poonawalla termed the trolling unfortunate asking people to judge a minister for what he does with his department.

Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar during the Cabinet briefing said it’s the people who must form an opinion about such trolls.
