The
internet
was
abuzz
yesterday
over
Anushka
Sharma
and
Virat
Kohli's
Diwali
greeting
this
year.
The
couple
seemed
to
have
upset
a
section
of
people
by
advocating
against
bursting
of
firecrackers.
For
the
unversed,
Virat
on
Saturday
had
posted
a
Diwali
message
on
his
social
media
handles.
He
wished
the
nation
on
the
auspicious
occasion
and
had
asked
people
to
refrain
from
bursting
crackers
to
protect
the
environment.
The
skipper
said
in
his
video,
"
“Please
remember
do
not
burst
crackers,
protect
the
environment
and
have
fun
at
home
with
your
loved
ones,
a
simple
diya
and
sweets
on
this
auspicious
occasion.”
And
now,
Congress
spokesperson
Udit
Raj
has
commented
on
the
whole
matter
in
a
rather
derogatory
fashion.
Raj,
whilst
defending
the
Indian
batsman’s
stance,
ended
up
calling
him
'Anushka’s
dog’
in
his
tweets.
Udit
Raj
tweeted,
“Anushka
does
not
have
to
take
care
of
her
dog
Virat
Kohli.
No
one
is
more
faithful
than
a
dog.
Kohli
had
taught
you
looters,
scoundrels
and
fools
that
humanity
is
at
risk
from
pollution.
You
will
have
to
get
your
DNA
checked
whether
you
are
native
here
or
not?”
अनुष्का
को
अपने
कुत्ते
विराट
कोहली
को
सम्भालने
की
ज़रूरत
नही
है।
कुत्ता
से
ज़्यादा
वफ़ादार
कोई
नही।
कोहली
ने
तुम
लुच्चे
,लफ़ंगों
और
मूर्खों
को
सीख
दी
थी
कि
प्रदूषण
से
मानवता
ख़तरे
में
हैं।
तुम
लोगों
का
डीएनए
चेक
कराना
पड़ेगा
कि
तुम
यहाँ
के
मूल
निवासी
हो
कि
नहीं?
He
went
on
to
add,
“Virat
Kohli's
suggestion
was
welcome
but
some
rascals
started
abusing
the
tweeter.
I
am
sure
the
government
is
watching
it
as
if
there
is
a
silent
consensus.
Action
has
not
been
taken
against
them
yet.
They
cannot
be
human.
They
are
calling
the
dog
even
worse.
There
is
no
one
more
loyal
than
the
dog.”
