Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent proclamation at the parliament to revoke Article 370 has gained quite a lot of attention and divided opinion in India. But a certain Congress Minister might have added a completely different element to it.
According to reports, Congress MP Manish Tewari received backlash after he referred to the erotic novel Fifty Shades Of Grey while addressing the Parliament about the Kashmir issue.
After Amit Shah asked Congress to clarify their stand on Article 370, Tewari responded,
There is an English book. Everything is not black and white. There are fifty shades of gray in between. Maybe the Home Minister was thinking something else. He didn’t pay attention to what I said.
Twitter was sent into a tizzy after his statement.
Did Manish Tiwari just quoted "Fifty Shades of Grey"?

Right now in Lok Sabha:@AmitShah: “Congress should clarify if they are for or against scrapping #Article370.”@ManishTewari: “There’s an English book, it’s not black and white, it’s 50 Shades Of Grey.”

Manish tiwari just gave an example of 50 shades of Grey. Is he in senses ??#kashmir #Article370Scrapped

Manish Tewari thinks that 50 Shades Of Grey is a book about issues that are undefined or unclear. These are the same who think American Pie is a movie about food.

People invoke The Gita, Quran, Bible, Granth etc

They may invoke mantras, chants, prayers too
But @ManishTewari invokes a porn novel – 50 shades of grey.
#ShameOnCongress Manish Tiwari, Congress says “Not every issue is black and white, there is a book that says 50 shades of grey.” Hehe! He says this in reply to Home Minister over Article 370 revocation. (google 50 shades of grey pleej) pic.twitter.com/mXJK3Nj5G4

After @ManishTewari has brought in 50 shades of Grey, sources tell me @ShashiTharoor will talk about Gone Girl during 370 debate.
