Congress leader celebrates Pak’s victory against India, mocking tweet sparks controversy

New Delhi, Oct 25: Congress national media coordinator Radhika Khera's tweet mocked the Indian Cricket team for its loss against Pakistan at the T20 World Cup. Eventually, it sparked controversy after the party refrained to comment on her tweet while it continues to draw criticism from her own party apart from the opposition.

 

 

Khera seemed overjoyed with the victory of Pakistan. She in her tweet interpreted the defeat of team India as a defeat for 'Bhakts'. "Bhakts! How's the taste? You have managed to humiliate yourselves," the Congress national media coordinator tweeted in Hindi.

 

 

In her next tweet, Radhika Khera targeted ‘stupid Bhakts’ and “Malviya’s 2 rupees trolls”. She was presumably referring to Amit Malviya, the IT Cell head of the BJP. In another tweet, she just used fire and chilly emojis.

When a fellow Congress party member reminder her that the Indian team that lost to Pakistan did not belong to ‘Bhakts’ alone, the Congress national media coordinator mocked him saying that someone who appears on Times Now was giving her advise.

 

 

Responding to the tweet of Khera, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will be the candidate for the "Prime Minister of Pakistan". "Congress will be happy today.. Isn't it. Now it is obvious that Congress will fight the election of 2024 from its own country and will try to make Rahul Gandhi will be a candidate for "Wazir-e-Azam"!" Patra tweeted in Hindi.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Sandeep Dixit said that there must not be any politics in the matter of sports. "There should not be any politics. I am not in favour of comments for or against. Sport is a sport. It is true that there are serious issues between the governments but in sports, we should not let politics come in, whichever is the party," Dixit said.
