New Delhi, Apr 18 (IBNS): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's look in Iran on Monday invited several criticism on social networking site.
During a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Swaraj was seen in pictures wearing a pink sari and a matching shawl draped over her head.

Another Kailash Wagh ‎supported Fatah and wrote: "@TarekFatah @SushmaSwaraj yes. MEA is supposed to represent India and Indian culture. Will HE Iranian President wear Indian dress in India?"
 
A woman named Sona posted: "I didn't know Sushma Swaraj went to Iran to fight Ayatollah's dress code and reform the country."
