NEW DELHI: Months after joining the social media world, Congress general secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh East, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra became the target of troll.
Hundreds of people trolled Ms Vadra after she wished ‘Nauroz’ Mubarak to Kashmiris.
“Nauroz Mubarak to all my Kashmiri sisters and brothers!! Despite my mother’s ‘don’t forget to make the thali’ messages, I had no time to make my thali (plate) yesterday but came home after (a) road show and found it placed on the dining table. How sweet are moms?”, Ms Vadra tweeted early Saturday.
Soon after Priyanka tweeted, people pointed out the ‘mistake’ in her post, some humorously and some with a political tone.
“It’s very nice to be inclusive and Secular. I like you didn’t forget Nauroz. But what you are referring to here is ‘Navreh’, the Kashmiri Pandit festival and ‘Navreh thaal’ a Pandit ritual. Anyway, Navreh Mubarak to you too”, a twitter user said.
Another user said that It’s Navreh not Nauroz. Navreh is festival of Pandits while Nauroz is a festival of Muslims. Nauroz was celebrated last month and advised her to change the person who is operating her twitter handle.
“Those who migrated hundreds of years back from Kashmir have forgotten the difference between Navreh and Nauroz..Nauroz is an Iranian new year and has no association with Navreh celeberated by Kashmiri Pandits”, another user tweeted. (AGENCIES)
