Hardik Pandya to be booked for Ambedkar tweet

NEW DELHI: A Rajasthan court on Wednesday directed Jodhpur police to file an FIR against India allrounder Hardik Pandya for an alleged tweet on Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar. But as it turns out, the tweet came from an account which doesn't belong to the cricketer.The tweet criticising Ambedkar came from a handle @sirhardik3777 while Pandya's official and verified handle is @hardikpandya7.However, the fake account seems to have been deactivated/deleted as of now.According to petitioner D R Meghwal, Pandya, on December 26, 2017, posted a comment on his twitter account, which insulted Ambedkar and hurt the sentiments of the people of his community.“Which Ambedkar ??? The one who drafted a cross law and constitution or the one who spread the disease called reservation in the country,” Pandya purportedly posted on his twitter timeline.Offended by this, Meghwal, who claims to be a member of Rashtriya Bhim Sena in Rajasthan’s Jalore district, moved an application against the cricketer on Tuesday. Meghwal stated in his complaint that by making this comment, a popular cricketer like Pandya has not only attempted to insult and disregard the constitution and the architect of the constitution deliberately but has also hurt the sentiments of the community he belongs to.
