A day after Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy took a dig at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley for his choice of clothing at a conference in Beijing, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra criticised Swamy for his "attention seeking, classist and derogatory" remark, reported The Hindu. On Friday, Swamy had said, “BJP should direct our Ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian clothes while abroad. In coat and tie they look like waiters.” His remark came after Jaitley's photo taken at the event was published by several news organisations.

"Undermining waiters who work hard for a living; making condescending and derogatory remarks about them is deplorable and classist," Vadra wrote on Facebook on Saturday. However, the veteran politician was quick to hit back. “Mr Vadra should concentrate on staying out of jail instead of making political comments,” Swamy retorted.
