What were they sweeping, asks Omar after BJP MPs undertake cleanliness drive at Parliament complex
Srinagar: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Saturday mocked the cleanliness drive at the Parliament complex, saying it was one of the cleanest places in India.
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister was responding to a Swachh Bharat programme held inside the Parliament complex in which several BJP MPs, including actor-turned-politician Hema Malini, could be seen wielding a broom.
In a tweet, Omar said:
But the Parliament complex is one of the cleanest places in the country, especially when the sessions are on, so what were they sweeping 🧹? https://t.co/T4EHkzt2zz

A short video of the Bollywood actor cleaning a road inside the complex came in for severe criticism on social media as the broom of the Mathura MP was not even touching the ground as she swept.
Omar, in another tweet said:
Ma’am please practice how to wield the 🧹 in private before your next photo op. This technique you’ve employed won’t contribute much to improving cleanliness in Mathura (or anywhere else for that matter). https://t.co/jFVLPJDLwy
