After sharing fake news and morphed images to mock the Prime Minister, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor took the liberty to mock divyang people just to poke fun at Narendra Modi’s supporters.
In a poor and distasteful Tweet, Tharoor copy-pasted in all probabilities what looks like a WhatsApp forward to suggest that Andhbhakts (a term used to mock Modi supporters) should donate their eyes so they can continue to seek ‘Acche Din’ even after their death.
https://twitter.com/ShashiTharoor/status/1402814775835258881?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwTharoor did insert a nonsensical disclaimer of “tweeting without comment” to dust off his hands of the tasteless joke made as a member of Lok Sabha.
It is not sure if his Tweet was to motivate people to opt for eye donation to help the blind or to accomplish his daily quota of blind hate towards Prime Minister Modi. But his tweet mocks the BJP supporters who might opt to donate their eyes, as he suggests that even after their death, their eyes will remain blind supporters of the BJP.
Netizens react to Tharoor’s Tweet
Twitter users were quick to remind Shashi Tharoor of his utilization of eye donation to attack BJP supporters.
