It’s Mahavir’s Jayanti not Gautam Buddha Jayanti. This is what happens when you become Hindu due to party pressure. https://t.co/M8dJIktbNW — Smoking Skills (@SmokingSkills_) 1522293310000

He can't differentiate between Mahavir and Buddha but is an expert on Indian religions. OK. https://t.co/CUpwczA6IS — Divya Kumar Soti (@DivyaSoti) 1522292680000

NEW DELHI. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor today committed a hilarious gaffe when he tweeted photo of Gautam Buddha to wish his followers on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti.Twitterati went completely berserk on seeing this faux pas by the senior Congress leader from Kerala . What followed it was completely unexpected.Many Twitter users decided to give Tharoor a taste of his medicine by sending him wishes and attaching completely unrelated or conflicting images to go with it.Here are some of the funniest reactions that Tharoor got:People did not even spare Tharoor's boss and party president or his colleagues.While some questioned if Tharoor was a "Pseudo Hindu".However seeing the uproar on micro-blogging site, Tharoor issued a clarification and shared the "source" from where he "got the photo".But the damage had been done and the best was reserved for the last.
