Today’s “Word of the Day” is flak and it is a noun meaning “strong criticism, censure, disapproval, condemnation, castigation, lambasting, denunciation”.
Example Sentence: On July 16, 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had used the term “revri culture” for the first time at an event in Uttar Pradesh and warned that the culture of distributing freebies for votes would take the country towards darkness. The remark drew flak from various corners, including Opposition parties who not only questioned the rationale (reasoning/logic) of Mr. Modi’s jibe (insulting remark), but also pointed towards the various “populist” schemes run by the Centre and BJP governments in various States.
