Suresh Raina the latest celebrity to experience the 'nationalist' anger. (tweets below) |
Amid the build up to the Asia Cup final on Sunday against Bangladesh, cricketer Suresh Raina faced heavy trolling for his Facebook post supporting JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar.
After watching Kanhaiya interview on NDTV on Friday, Suresh Raina posted that he was saluting Kanhaiya Kumar, who was a true fighter and spoke every word honestly.
That provoked 'nationalists' and the trolling, which began almost immediately, accelerated on Sunday.
Some tweets expressed disappointment that Suresh Raina had let down his fans by supporting an anti-national. And some tweeted abuses calling him freak, traitor, anti-national and worse. Suresh Raina also seem to be blocking some of the fanatic tweets targeting him.
'Nationalists' also accused that Suresh Raina had deleted his pro-Kanhaiya tweet after posting it. This may be wrong as Suresh Raina posted his message on Facebook and it still stays there.
After Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and few other celebs, Suresh Raina has become the latest celebrity to experience the 'nationalist' anger.
