It all started when the Prime Minister wore a bright pink turban to India’s 68th Republic Day parade at Rajpath, Delhi. Ever since, Twittersphere has been firing on all cylinders in response to his fashion choice.

In one corner, we have Modi supporters:

“Wow!! @narendramodi Ji looking great in pink turban ‘safa’ proud to have a PM like him, what a salute at Amar Jawaan Jyoti,” tweeted Mamta Bhardwaj.

“Demonetisation be damned… dressing mein our Modi has made all the right choices. Impeccable. His pink turban is a delight,” wrote Sangeet Saini.

And in the other corner were users with responses such as:

“I just saw you on TV with a pink turban. My humble submission, please wear saffron turban on these occasions,” wrote Rajendra Prakkash.

“Pink revolution – even the PM is wearing a pink turban! Showing his metrosexual softer side after 56” inch machismo,” tweeted Pallavi.

Which was a response to this tweet:

“Meanwhile, Modi is wearing pink turban to support women’s march!” wrote Twitter user Totapari.

We kinda hope this doesn’t end here, because it’s hilarious.
