Twitter has now turned into a battlefield with Bollywood singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s haters and supporters who are debating on the matter of his Twitter account’s suspension. The Twitter handle of Abhijeet was suspended by Twitter after many users reported the use of offensive language by the singer.
Abhijeet tweeted this about a JNU student-activist named Shehla Rashid, “There is rumour she took money in advance for 2 hrs and didn’t satisfy the client.. big racket”
This resulted in suspension of his account after complaints were made against him and many users were in the favor of this decision. However, Abhijeet’s supporters started trending #IStandWithAbhijeet, demanding the restoration of his account.
Abhijeet found a supporter in Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam who announced that he was quitting Twitter as a mark of protest against Twitter’s decision to suspend Abhijeet’s account. In a series of tweets, he made his decision public and raised voice against the suspension.
Earlier Sonu was in the centre of controversy when he raised voice against the sound of Azaan coming from a mosque near his house early morning because of which he was not able to sleep properly.
Here are the tweets made by Sonu Nigam:
“1. Hello Press, Twitteratis, Tweeples and Tweetios, get ready to take screen shots of my following messages for they won’t remain here 4 long”
“2. I bid adieu to Twitter and my close to 7 Million followers today, leaving most Disappointed and angry at me, and some Sadists Happy.”
