Manish Tewari on Monday had tweeted, "So ISIS allegedly crucified Father Thomas Uzhunnali & BJP Govt did nothing. Why because he was a Christian? Mr PM he was also a fellow Indian." However, little did he know that his tweet would attract lot of censure and flak on the social media platform.


Sushma, who apparently rejected Tewari's allegations of not rescuing Indian priest Thomas Uzhunnali, hit back at Tewari by tweeting, "Friends - I have liked some tweets. Please see them and judge for yourself. Then reply to @ManishTewari."


Here are some of the reactions on Manish Tewari's post on 'BJP's inability to rescue Father Thomas Uzhunnali' from ISIS.

On Monday, a report pulished in Washington Times said that Islamic State (ISIS) carried out the crucifixion of Father Thomas Uzhunnallil on Good Friday in Yemen. However, a day later, a catholic priest told media that there is no confirmation yet about the crucifixion of Father Thomas Uzhunnallil.


The Catholic priest, who was working at Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity, was abducted in a raid conducted by the militants at an old age home in Yemen in early this month.


As per the report, the Islamic terror group used the same method to execute priest Uzhunnalil, which the Romans did to crucify Jesus Christ.
