Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has become the latest to join the #SareeTwitter campaign on social media site Twitter.

However, the Gandhi family scion has had to add a clarification too when the twitterati started congratulating her on what they thought was her wedding anniversary.

“Thanks for all the anniversary wishes... but it’s just a throwback photo for the #SareeTwitter guys... my anniv is in Feb,” she clarified.

In a tongue-in-cheek remark, she also tagged her husband Robert Vadra and added, "You can still take me out for dinner".

The #SareeTwitter trend began on Monday with many sharing their favourite pictures in saree using the hashtag, and by Tuesday it became a rage.  

The microblogging site was flooded with posts from people from all walks of life, including celebrities and politicians, sharing their favourite pictures in a saree using the hashtag.

However, the reason begin the idea #SareeTwitter is yet to be figured out.

Saree dipicts our Indian tradition and culture. It is also supposed to be known as our sexiest costume. One looks dignified , elegant, beautiful , graceful and yet can seem very appealing in it #SareeTwitter pic.twitter.com/gVIuAZ6Uco
