Abhijeet Bhattacharya gets massive support after account suspension; singer calls Twitter 'anti-Modi' and 'anti-Hindu'

New Delhi: Bollywood singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya is now witnessing a massive support online after his Twitter account was suspended over sexist and offensive remarks targetted at some women users. The singer had reportedly posted a string of 'offensive' tweets, especially against women.

In one of his tweets, he insulted a woman Twitter user when she called him out for his tweets. However, despite all of this, his fans are still showing him with unconditional love and slamming Twitter for the act.

"Twitter is a platform for anti-nationals, anti-Indian Army, anti-Modi, anti-Hindu and for terrorist supporters. I would say all are Naxals, they should be punished severely. It's jihadi Twitter," Abhijeet told IANS in a WhatsApp conversation from Interlaken in Switzerland.

Check out how social media users are reacting:

Suspend of Abhijeet's acct raising so many questions on @TwitterIndia for their biased behavior.

Abhijeet, a popular singer of Hindi film songs like "Main koi aisa geet" and "Suno na", is known to be an active right-wing supporter and clashes with liberal voices on social media. In the recent past he courted controversy with his comments and Twitter posts on issues of political importance.

Last year, Abhijeet was arrested but released on bail by the Mumbai Police following a complaint against him for harassing a woman journalist on Twitter. He has also relentlessly spoken out about how Bollywood "breeds and feeds" Pakistani artistes in the country.

The singer said social media is not a platform to practise "freedom of speech" as there is too much trolling and ranting.
