Bollywood singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya's Twitter account was suspended by the micro-blogging website after he posted a string of "offensive" tweets, especially against women. Abhijit Bhattacharya is known for his controversial tweets in the past too. He has faced criticism on social media time and again.
A message from Twitter on Abhijit Bhattacharya’s handle said: "Account Suspended: This account has been suspended...."
When asked if he would take any step to reinstate his Twitter handle, Abhijeet said, "I (don't) care a damn... entire nation is with me.
The move by the micro-blogging site came after social media users accused the 58-year-old singer of using "inappropriate" and "insulting" language.
When contacted, Abhijeet told PTI, "Author Arundhati Roy and people supporting JNU" were behind the suspension of his account. "Yes, I just saw it. They are trying to block Paresh Rawal also. All Arundhati and JNU group behind this after Paresh Rawal and I tweeted against Arundhati for her anti- India stand," he said
BJP MP-actor Paresh Rawal kicked up a row with his remark that author Roy should be tied to an army jeep instead of a stone pelter, a reference to an incident in Kashmir where a protester was used as a "human shield" by security personnel against a mob.
