In one go, he has insulted our Army, brave Jawans, the incredible dog unit, Yoga tradition & our country," he said in a tweet, adding, "I feel really sad for all the young Congress workers (if there are any left) that they have to deal with this man as their leader."

What does the #SulkingPrince mean by this? Is @RahulGandhi being disrespectful to dogs? Or to yoga? Or just plain stupid and unthinking...? 😡 https://t.co/dshDQ1EfKK

Not sure of what @RahulGandhi problem with the Army’s dog squad doing Yoga is. The Indian Army’s dogs are highly trained and very valuable companions of soldiers both in peace time and during combat. Who is he mocking? The jawans or the dogs? Unless the joke is on him. https://t.co/k8aRGV2xI2
