- Vivek has been attacking him on Twitter, calling him everything from puncture repairer to ‘jihadi’.
Vivek Agnihotri, a filmmaker, and Mohammed Zubair, a journalist, have been exchanging insults on Twitter. Vivek has been criticizing Zubair on Twitter since he “fact-checked” his tweet about receiving the “Dadasaheb Phalke award,” calling him everything from a “jihadi” to a “puncture repairer.”
Swara Bhaskar also joined the conversation on Friday. She tweeted about Vivek’s “bigoted” actions on Twitter. “Vivek Agnihotri is a striking example of how filthy, poisoned, prejudiced, and majoritarian our public discourse has become in the ‘New India,’ calling Muslim individuals by their names, cursing at them, and blaming them on public platforms just because they are Muslim. In her tweet, she stated, “Sickening.
The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, previously received recognition at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Awards. Zubair tweeted that Vivek’s film had not actually won the coveted Dadasaheb Phalke award, but one that was similar to it while the filmmaker was celebrating the victory. Fact checking is the biggest extortion mafia in existence today, Vivek replied in response after becoming irritated. governed by a crazed, insane terror group. Vivek commented, “I don’t dislike fact-checkers, I hate when puncture repairers claim to be fact-checkers,” in response to Zubair’s screenshots of the Dadasaheb Phalke award confusion. Because you are nothing more than a jehadi pimp for India’s adversaries, and I am fully aware of your backers. Each jihadist will have his or her day, and yours is right around the corner.
“Terms like “Jihadi” or “Puncture wala” against Muslims were formerly used by nameless Right Wing trolls, but it’s now being publicly used by Confirmed trolls like,” Zubair replied. Instead of analogies, Vivek suggested, “I should call you exactly what you are: Genocide denier, supporter of terrorism, harasser of women (Nupur Sharma), creator of #SarTanSeJuda (Kanhaiya Lal), and promoter of untruths for the adversaries of Hinduism. When the time for qayamat arrives, be ready.
After the release of Padmaavat (2018), Swara and Vivek also got into a fight over an open letter Swara wrote to Sanjay Leela Bhansali criticizing his film, and Vivek dubbed her a “false feminist.”
Vivek works on his upcoming book, The Vaccine War, when he’s not expressing his political views on Twitter.
