Dhar (Madhya Pradesh): Newly-appointed Minister of State Savitri Thakur has landed herself in a controversy after a video showing her writing 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' incorrectly in Hindi has surfaced on social media.
During the event, she attempted to write the message "Save Daughters, Educate Daughters" on the school board but wrote it incorrect. The whole scene was recorded in a video, which has gone viral on social media.
In the video footage, it is clearly visible that 12th pass Savitri Thakur wrote the message incorrectly on the school board. Instead of writing "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao," she wrote "Bedi Padao, Bachhav."
Netizens React...
The video is being widely circulated on social media, drawing flak from netizens. The incident has raised questions about Thakur's capabilities and her appointment to the central ministry. Most of the users expressed concerns, drawing parallels between her incorrect writing and her efficiency as a minister. While a minor section of people on social media defended her, saying that it is unfair to judge the minister on the basis of a'small writing mistake'.
