Industrialist Harsh Goenka ‘sexist joke’ on Twitter has not gone down well with the users.

The ‘body-shaming wife joke’ may have been considered funny by a few, but he did draw ire over it from others.

“I was having a candlelight dinner, a rare occasion, with my wife. She told me softly “Pass the wine, my divine”. I thought to myself ‘how clever, how poetic’… so I wanted the bread and reciprocated without thinking “pass the roti, my m _ _ _! Writing from the hospital !” Goenka’s tweet reads.

Below are the reactions:

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
