Akshay
Kumar
gets
trolled
mercilessly
after
he
welcomed
the
Brihanmumbai
Municipal
Corporation's
debut
on
Twitter,
saying
people
can
now
tweet
their
'suggestions
and
grievances'
to
the
civic
body
directly.
Akshay
was
the
subject
of
intense
speculation
about
his
citizenship
after
he
did
not
vote
in
Mumbai
on
April
29
in
the
fourth
round
of
the
seven-phase
Lok
Sabha
polls.
Later,
the
51-year-old
said
he
had
never
hidden
or
denied
the
fact
that
he
holds
a
Canadian
passport.
The
BMC
is
now
on
twitter
as
@mybmc,
you
can
now
tweet
your
suggestions/
grievances
to
BMC
directly
and
get
them
addressed.
Try
it
now
to
make
your
voice
heard
directly.
The
Kesari
actor
tweeted,
"The
BMC
is
now
on
twitter
as
@mybmc,
you
can
now
tweet
your
suggestions/
grievances
to
BMC
directly
and
get
them
addressed.
Try
it
now
to
make
your
voice
heard
directly."
To
which
the
official
page
of
BMC
replied,
"Thank
you
Mr
@akshaykumar
for
helping
us
bring
maximum
Mumbaikars
together
on
this
medium
to
take
up
the
#CollectiveResponsibility
of
keeping
our
city
at
its
best.
We
look
forward
to
effectively
addressing
people's
grievances
&
also
sensitising
them
of
the
role
they
can
play."
This,
however,
didn't
go
down
well
with
several
people
who
called
the
tweet
ironical.
The
replies
to
his
tweet
ranged
from
being
abusive
to
ones
mentioning
his
Canadian
nationality.
"Toothpaste
mein
desh
ki
mitti
hai,
handwash
mein
desh
ki
suraksha
hai,
saabun
mein
deshbhakti
ka
jhaag
hai....lekin
passport
mein
desh
ki
naagrikta
nahi
hai.
Ye
kaisa
deshprem
hai.
Canadian," a
user
wrote.
The
actor
had
earlier
said
he
doesn't
understand
the
'unwarranted
interest
and
negativity'
about
his
citizenship
as
he
works
in
the
country
and
pays
his
taxes
here.
"While
all
these
years,
I
have
never
needed
to
prove
my
love
for
India
to
anyone,
I
find
it
disappointing
that
my
citizenship
issue
is
constantly
dragged
into
needless
controversy,
a
matter
that
is
personal,
legal,
non-political,
and
of
no
consequence
to
others," he
had
said.
