People all across the country have gone crazy since the time demonetization of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes has been announced by PM Modi on 8th of November. Millions of people have been spending hours in queues outside ATMs and banks for withdrawing or exchanging their money. However, many of them are returning empty-handed, because ATMs aren’t configured yet to dispense new currency, and banks are facing shortage of new notes.
Social media is filled with videos and photos of people standing and complaining about those long lines. Stories are being shared on Twitter.
However, Virender Sehwag has blindly made a comparison and is getting thrashed for it. Twitterati loves Sehwag, but this time, he compared the ATM queues with soldiers at India’s borders. Yes, he referred to Shaheed Hanumanthappa who waited 6 days under 25ft of snow i.e. around -45°C. This was his tweet…

However, this comparison didn’t go down well with Twitterati. Yes, for the first time they trolled Sehwag for showing his blind support to Modi! Here are the furious tweets..
Assumption!
assuming you've been waiting in lines everyday yourself for hours only to find atm has run out of cash just before ur chance

Amazing how crorepatis are sermonizing the aam aadmi & invariably bring into play false binary of the soldier @virendersehwag
