Babita Phogat under fire for ‘anti-Muslim’ tweet on COVID-19

Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel’s twitter account was suspended after she advocated violence against Muslims and “secular media”, accusing the community of attacking and killing doctors. We now have Commonwealth Games gold medallist wrestler Babita Phogat doing the same. She too is being criticized for tweets attacking Muslims over the spread of coronavirus in India.

A hashtag calling on Twitter to ban wrestler Babita Phogat is trending. The trend comes a day after Rangoli Chandel was suspended by Twitter.

On Wednesday, the star wrestler took to Twitter and wrote, “Coronavirus is the second biggest problem in India, uncivilized Jamaati, however, are India’s number one.”

Check out her tweet here:

No sooner did she share the tweet, netizens slammed her for it. Phogat, unhinged by the netizens calling her out on her tweet, put out another tweet where she took a stand for Rangoli, Phogat wrote that Twitter didn’t like those who spoke “truth” on its platform.

Here is her second tweet,

Soon all hell broke loose and Netizens started #SuspendBabitaPhogat demanding Twitter to suspend her account too.

Interestingly, following #SuspendBabitaPhogat on Friday, a subsequent hashtag #ISupportBabitaPhogat trended far and wide in India.
