Irani, who is known to not hold back, responded on Monday by telling Chaturvedi that she does not have a 'Z' category security.
@priyankac19 I don't have Z security Madam.

Chaturvedi stated that she didn't know the internal workings of Home Ministry and went as per newspaper reports.
Madam I don't know the internal workings of Home Ministry, i go as per newspaper reports. I presume no security at all then @smritiirani ?

Irani responded by questioning the Congress leader "why are you so interested in my security? Planning anything?"

"Dats more Rahulji's forte. Oh wait, losing Assam is. My bad. Have a good day," Irani hit back with a jibe.

The Congress spokesperson retorted with another sarcastic remark. "Repeatedly losing and yet becoming a minister in the cabinet is your forte," she posted.
Repeatedly losing and yet becoming a minister in the cabinet is your forte. You have a glorious day too @smritiirani
