Twitter lashes out on Babita Phogat after her derogatory remark on a certain community
Wrestler and Commonwealth Games Gold medallist Babita Phogat on Thursday targeted members of a certain community when she called out the gathering at Nizamuddin.
She wrote on Twitter in Hindi: “फैला होगा चमगादड़ से तुम्हारे वहा। हमारे हिंदुस्तान में तो जाहिल सूअरों से फैल रहा है (At your place it might have spread through bats, in Hindustan it spread through illiterate pigs).”
Leaving in no doubt who she was targeting, she helpfully added the hash tag #Nizamuddinidiots to her post.
Her post has since then garnered over 37 thousand likes and over 10 thousand retweets. At the same time, many have criticised her for the post. Some even took to posting pictures of other gatherings that were organised by other communities.
"Record amount of bigotry, hate, and fake news in just 17 words. You should get Gold Medal for his achievement..!!" criticised one Twitter user.
Don't forget you are a sportsperson first...such language is not expected from an Olympian...you have a higher code to adhere to

The irony is that she got mainstream recognition by Amir Khan productions. Her family's characters played by Zara and Fatima.
People show their "level" . She has.
This bigot Babita should be boycotted. Such a venomous human.

Only a filthy Hindutva thug can compare covid positive patients with pigs.
That's the difference between all inclusive Hinduism & divisive Hindutva.
May God give you and your family the same treatment that you wish for others.
