I will say what I feel: Vishal Dadlani defends Rahul-Modi tweet

January 28, 2014 14:31

NDTV reports: Vishal Dadlani confronted vicious trolling on social media Tuesday over his tweet, apparently targeting Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, which has ignited a furious political debate online.

"Stuck between a moron and a murderer....what now, India!?" tweeted the music director on Monday night, soon after an interview of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi was aired by a private TV channel.

It was an apparent reference to Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate and Gandhi, who is largely seen as the Congress' man for the top job if it retains power in the national election due by May.

As Arvind Kejriwal retweeted the comment, a deluge of tweets followed, many attacking Dadlani as "misinformed", publicity-seeking and worse.

He took it on the chin, tweeting: "Here's the bad news, trolls. You can threaten me all you like, and scream and shout yourselves hoarse. I will still say what I feel. Simple."

He also did not bother to hide his inclinations. "Also note, I didn't mention an option 3. You chose it on your own, for good or bad. Sign of the times? Big parties are clearly rattled!"
