Composer Vishal Dadlani wrote: “What’s childish about a hug? Check it out below:
What's childish about a hug? It was sorta sweet, actually. BJP should accept it with grace & perhaps send some love back, instead of being negative and churlish. Also, it would be more becoming of the govt. to answer each point Rahul made pre-hug. That's what we want to hear. https://t.co/Bl2gM8osPI

This hug reminds of the tearing up of the Lokpal Bill in 2014. Theatrics have no place in Parliament.
