RGV Replies To Sona Mohapatra After She Slammed Him for Judging Women Drinking Liquor
The Indian government's decision of starting the sale of liquor during lockdown to handle the states' economies, became a major topic of debate amongst people on social media. Some of them welcomed the decision and others criticised it by stating that it could increase violence in the society.
Since the government's announcement, people started standing in a long queue outside liquor shops to get adequate stock of alcohol. On May 4, Ram Gopal Varma took a jibe at women standing in a queue to buy alcohol. He wrote, "Look who's in line at the wine shops ..So much for protecting women against drunk men."

On the other hand, a guy named Prajwal (@prajwalmanipal) claimed that the photo Ram Gopal Varma shared was clicked by him. He tweeted, "I am the one who clicked this photo and there were hardly a dozen women when there were hundreds of men in line. Police official on duty said that this was done for the protection of the women. Your tweet is sexist and twisted."
