Barkha Dutt & Smriti Irani Just Had An Epic Catfight On Twitter! Can You Decide The Winner?

Smriti Irani and Barkha Dutt, one is HRD minister and the other is a senior journalist, but what is common in both of them is their approach of never giving up in a fight.

Everything was going fine till Dutt tagged Irani in a tweet in which she was marketing her latest column “A Letter To PM Modi From ‘Anti-National Sickular Presstitute’ Barkha Dutt”.

Barkha was referring to a statement given by Smriti Irani in context of JNU controversy and the students of the university; however, Smriti totally denied giving any statement or quote in reference to JNU and this is how the battle started:

Minister @smritiirani says JNU insulted Mother India. But what of compassionate, gentler side of Mothers? My column: https://t.co/syfGgmwP99

Here is what Smriti replied:

@BDUTT Madam find me 1 quote where I have named JNU else let it be known to the world once again u peddle lies.

— Smriti Z Irani (Modi Ka Parivar) (@smritiirani) February 22, 2016

Now, Barkha came up with all the newspaper reports regarding the issue:

@smritiirani ma'am eg: read this in @dna wasnt your ref to JNU students charged with sedition. All papers said so ? https://t.co/VJbvbOKd9m

— barkha dutt (@BDUTT) February 22, 2016

@smritiirani and here is Business standard saying the same on your comment on JNU issue https://t.co/tjmXsQCvMU

— barkha dutt (@BDUTT) February 22, 2016

One Twitter user was also quick to join and wanted to make his opinion count:

https://twitter.com/naqshband/status/701774477957447680

@naqshband @smritiirani that's what I read in all newspapers. Have posted link to DNA. Can attach other links too

— barkha dutt (@BDUTT) February 22, 2016

However, Smriti was in no mood to listen to anyone:

@BDUTT Apne jhooth ke liye doosro ka sahara mat lijiye. Maine aaj tak issue pe JNU ke naam se newspaper aur TV channel ko quote nahi diya.

— Smriti Z Irani (Modi Ka Parivar) (@smritiirani) February 23, 2016

Barkha showed her skills by trying to trap Smriti with this tweet:

@smritiirani so ma'am are you accusing almost the entire print media of "jhhooth"? And just curious whom were your comments directed at then

— barkha dutt (@BDUTT) February 23, 2016

Smriti defended herself by tweeting this:

@BDUTT u point out to certain journos and their reports to help ur cause but ur claim itself shows a systematic attempt to derail facts.

— Smriti Z Irani (Modi Ka Parivar) (@smritiirani) February 23, 2016

Barkha didn’t like it:

@smritiirani no idea why you needlessly personalise. However if I am a "liar" so are BS, DNA& 10 newspapers that wrote this. Agreed?

— barkha dutt (@BDUTT) February 23, 2016

Now it was the time for other Twitter users to join the war:

U n ur @BDUTT channel @NDTV is the one spreading lies and appeasing ur masters from opposition parties @smritiirani #FakeItLikeNDTV

— prabhu (@prabhatranjan_s) February 23, 2016

@BDUTT @smritiirani Not entire media, but some reporters associated with one channel are ofcourse JHHOOTTA and biased.

— Priyamvadha (மோடியின் குடும்பம்-Modi ka Parivar) (@Priyamvadhaprem) February 23, 2016

.@shilpitewari Lame logic. In a response to Q on JNU she said "bharat maata ka apman ..among other things" @BDUTT @brownbrumby @smritiirani
