Justin Trudeau's traditional attire attracts mixed reactions on social media

New Delhi : Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's traditional attires on his trip to India are getting mixed reactions on the social media, mostly making fun of it.

Trudeau had landed in India on February 17 for a week-long visit. His choice of traditional attires while visiting places in India has been ridiculed by politicians and social media users.

His attires have been tagged with words like "choreographed", "fake" and "annoying".

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah criticised Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by terming his attire as "choreographed cuteness".

"Is it just me or is this choreographed cuteness all just a bit much now? Also FYI we Indians don’t dress like this every day sir, not even in Bollywood," he tweeted along with photographs of Trudeau and his family, dressed in traditional attire, greeting people with folded hands.

However, Trudeau defended his attires by saying that he always prefer to wear traditional clothes to a broad range of events in different communities in his country and elsewhere.

"Reaction of people on whether I'm wearing traditional clothing or suit and tie is extremely encouraging in Indo-Canadian friendship," Trudeau said.

Mixed reactions on social media contained comments relating him to Bollywood movies too.

At News Heads, we find it a brilliant idea to get one immersed in the environment of the visiting place.
