    Congress MP Shashi Tharoor Wishes Mahavir Jayanti With A Buddha Pic; Twitterati Goes Berserk

    Darpan News Desk IANS, 29 Mar, 2018 01:14 PM

      When Shashi Tharoor took to Twitter to wish people on Mahavir Jayanti he used Gautam Buddha’s picture instead and it too did not get unnoticed.

       

      While he did apologise, people on social media can be harsh and in no time he was trolled. After tweeting the picture, Tharoor without removing the tweet, provided a source for the picture and wrote, “Authentic, accepted alternatives most welcome.

       

      At least, thanks to my apparent error, a lot more people are tweeting on Mahavira than they would otherwise have!”

       

      People on social media were on a roll after that. Some shared Hitler’s photo and wrote Happy Birthday Charlie Chaplin, while another, sharing Johnny Lever’s photo wrote, “Happy Birthday to Michael Jackson”. While one user wrote, “This is farrago of lies,” another wrote, “When you get confused between Royal Challenge VS Royal Stag”

       
       

      Tharoor quickly apologised for the error.

       
       

      But people on social media can be unforgiving at times. Here are some of the reactions.
