Controversial Tweets That Made Headlines

Omar Abdullah (February 2013):
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah landed in a soup after his controversial tweet on parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. He had tweeted:  “If J&K assembly had passed a resolution similar to the Tamil Nadu one for Afzal Guru, would the reaction have been as muted? I think not." His tweet came after the southern state-Tamil Nadu assembly passed a resolution asking for clemency for the killers of late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. “I should remember that the channels will make a story out of just about anything and that will teach me to shut up,” he later tweeted. The tweet has not only evoked a strong reaction from the Bhartiya Janata Party but has also kick-started a debate in the State.

Chetan Bhagat (August 2013):
Bestselling author and ex-IITian, Chetan Bhagat hogged a controversial limelight for his tweet that says, “The rupee is asking, is there no punishment for my rapists.' But this tweet goes down unwell with the netizens as they feel he was showing unconcerned towards crimes against women. Not just this, once he took on to twitter to counter Infosys chairman NR Narayana Murthy's remark that the standard of students in the IITs is declining.
Criticizing Murthy's remark, he wrote: "It is ironic when someone who runs a body shopping company and calls it hi-tech makes sweeping comments on the quality of IIT students." His comment aroused controversy, but later Chetan called a truce on twitter, saying, "All is well."
