Mumbai, January 30: Activist Madhu Kishwar is at it again. She has become a centre of controversy on Twitter after her tweet asking whether Congress President Rahul Gandhi will "now announce free sex for men" too.

Kishwar took a potshot at Gandhi and tweeted, "Wait till Rahul Gandhi also promises free sex for every adult male for a certain number of days every year!" Rahul Gandhi Promises Minimum Basic Income For All Poor if Congress Wins 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.

What followed was condemnation and attacks on Kishwar for her remarks. One Twitter user tweeted, "I can't believe you have written it. Stumped. Sad." Another user wrote, "Shameless comments." Many also trolled Kishwar for her remarks.
