A journalist named Stanley Pignal was criticised for remarks on Narendra Modi’s headgear choices. The journalist called Modi’s appetite for wearing ‘outlandish’ headgear was laudable in an apparently sarcastic tone and ended up insulting the traditional headgear that was worn by Modi at the time. Stanley Pignal is a journalist with ‘The Economist’.

In spite of the criticism against him, Stanley has refused to apologise and stood by his remarks. He described the criticism against him as a synthetic outrage.

It is quite clear that the journalist is not capable of accepting diversity or introspecting on his own loose comments.
