Shirish Kunder, choreographer-actor-filmmaker, Farah Khan’s husband is under the scanner for his tweet against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and the new Uttar Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The tweets were deleted a few hours later. He had tweeted that “Hoping a goon will stop rioting once he’s allowed to rule is like expecting a rapist to stop raping once he’s allowed to rape.” Fearing a backlash Kunder deleted those tweets. Kunder has been very free with his opinions and also posted tweets in the Gurmehar Kaur incident, Muhammad Akhlaq and Rohith Vemula cases where he blamed the government for not seeing the other side of the argument.

But his anti-Yogi Adityanath tweets got many enraged and now an FIR has been filed against him. He mocked the BJP for making Adityanath the CM invoking the logic that, “Yogi Adityanath as UP CM. Because when you make the naughtiest guy in class the class monitor, he behaves the best,” he had tweeted. After which he tweeted that “going by that logic, underworld don Dawood Ibrahim can be made the CBI Director and beleaguered businessman Vijay Mallya RBI Governor.

Kunder attacked the 44-year-old UP leader in his Twitter posts and then deleted them. Now his Twitter wall shows no posts after January 3 and two posts from March, where he is saying, “Before elections, make promises to fools. After elections, make promises to the rest. Then, let the two fight & fulfill promises to friends.”
