Singer Chinmayi who is known for voicing against woman harassment, has replied to the user by comparing this incident with an incident that happened in Tamilnadu where Governor was accused by a journalist for “patting” her in her cheek.

Check out her tweet here :

Hello Sir.
A woman saying she felt uncomfortable by the Governor patting her cheek as he would do for a ‘child’ while he doesn’t do the same for other Male journalists of her age, isn’t the wrong. Please do not invalidate someones experience.

Followed by this she posted another tweet saying that parents of a child have every right to call the cops if someone touches their kid in many abroad countries.

If you attempt to even touch a child, leave alone kiss a child like this in many countries abroad, the parents are well within their rights to call the cops.
