This Pakistani journalist is getting slammed on Twitter for mocking India’s win in Olympics

He also said that the responses to his tweets goes on to show how well Indians receive criticism and how ‘intolerant’ we are, to which, a user commented, “impartial criticism is always welcome but u started in the wrong foot by trolling and now hiding behind the veil of criticism”.

Responding to Amitabh Bachchan’s tweet, Quraishi said that it only takes a tweet on Rio Olympics to get a response from him. “Note to fellow Pakistani Twitterati: Critique India’s performance at the Olympics & the Great Bachchan will respond,” he tweeted.

Here’s what all he said.

Finally one of the 119 competitors that India sent to Rio has won a medal – a bronze – now see how they portray it as if they won 20 golds

For a population of over 1.25 billion India managed just one bronze medal – Norway with 5 million managed 2 — tch tch tch

My timeline would suggest that there is something mentally wrong with many Indians – cannot take criticism even if it’s well founded

JUST IN: The Indian Army wins Gold at the Rio Olympics in the newly-introduced sport ‘Shooting Unarmed Civilians in the Eye’

Obviously many Indians were furious and Quaraishi recieved flak from not only Bachchan but even senior Indian journalist Shekhar Gupta.

For me it is worth a 1000 golds and even that is not enough. Pride for Sakshi, proud that she is Indian and a woman https://t.co/io5JyaMTUP

Agree. Our athletes win not due to govt policies but in spite of them. That’s why we mustn’t mock their achievement https://t.co/qrpNtFMFXf

Well, just FYI, India has definitely got two medals in its kitty after PV Sindhu’s win on August 18 against Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara and one of them might be gold!
