Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a good spirit took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to wish people a happy Diwali. He wrote 'Diwali Mubarak' and also posted a picture for his 3.71 million followers wearing sherwani and lightening the lamp.

“Diwali Mubarak! We’re celebrating in Ottawa tonight. #HappyDiwali!” reads the caption of the image that has been retweeted nearly 800 times and ‘liked’ by 3.5K users.

Word to the wise : It's "Shubh-Deepavali", (Auspicious Deepavali), and NOT "Diwali Mubarak". "Mubarak" is Arabic, not Indian. @CanadainIndia — Truthsayer (@a_truthsayer) October 17, 2017

But he didn't even have a clue what's coming. People lambasted Canadian PM who's otherwise a celebrated leader loved by people for using word Mubarak while wishing the people.

It's not "Diwali Mubarak", it's "Diwali Ki Badhai" ... Correct it .. — Bhavesh K Pandey (@bhaveshkpandey) October 17, 2017

My man you can’t say Mubarak when referring to Diwali — Bhavana (@BhavanaNTR) October 17, 2017

Trudeau has been known for taking part in festivities of people belonging to different religions. In July this year, the 45-year-old performed a pooja at the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir.

However, there were some sane people as well who also wished the Canadian PM.
