RAINA’S ANTI-PAKISTAN TWEET CAUSES A STORM ONLINE
Cricketer Suresh Raina was in the center of a storm off the field on Friday, as questions were raised about an anti-Pakistan tweet that he reportedly posted. The tweet in question was: “Ek do din late gaye ghar! Woh bhi besharam ki tarah gaye... Bye bye Pakistan!”
The tweet was later removed by the cricketer, who claimed it was his nephew who had posted it. On Friday, the cricketer posted, “Smart phones are dangerous. Discovered it last night after my nephew posted random tweets. I’m a sportsman and would never be disrespectful. I felt it’s better to clarify. To all those who are upset, I’m sorry.” Within an hour, Raina was trending on the micro-blogging world. A ‘Raina Nephew’ account was also created and funny tweets were posted from the account. When BT contacted Suresh Raina, he said, “I wouldn’t like to comment on the issue. All I can say is that I’m currently looking forward to the Champions League which kickstarts soon.”
