Vivek Agnihotri calls journo ‘puncture repairer, jihadi’, Swara Bhasker calls him out: ‘Vile, bigoted’
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri and journalist Mohammed Zubair recently engaged in a war of words on popular micro blogging site. After Zubair ‘fact-checked’ Vivek’s tweet about winning the ‘Dadasaheb Phalke award’, Vivek has been attacking him on Twitter, calling him everything from puncture repairer to ‘jihadi’.
On Friday, Swara Bhaskar got into the mix as well. She spoke on in a tweet about Vivek’s ‘bigoted’ behaviour. “Vivek Agnihotri name-calling, swearing at, accusing Muslim citizens on public platforms simply because they are Muslim is a glaring example of how vile, poisoned, bigoted and majoritarian our public discourse has become in ‘New India’. Sickening,” she wrote in her tweet.
