    The Turbanator, Harbhajan Singh who is known for bowling out the batsman on the field with his spin bowling is receiving criticism from all the ends. The famous Indian cricketer took to Twitter to share a post about celebrating ISRO’s successful moon mission Chandrayaan-2. While doing so he targeted Pakistan which is now becoming the discussion of the hour.

    Check out his tweet below:

    Some countries have moon on their flags
    🇵🇰🇹🇷🇹🇳🇱🇾🇦🇿🇩🇿🇲🇾🇲🇻🇲🇷

    While some countries having their flags on moon

    Harbhajan Singh trolled some countries with the moon on their national flags, including Pakistan, after India’s second lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 was blasted off successfully from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The first line of Harbhajan’s Tweet had images of nine countries’ national flags with the moon on them, including Pakistan, Algeria, Turkey, Maldives, Mauritania, Tunisia, Libya, Malaysia and Azerbaijan. The second line had miniature pictures of the national flags of the US, India, China and Russia, the four countries to have successfully conducted moon missions.

    However, his tweet didn’t go well with the netizens and they started criticizing him and called out him for making a bigoted tweet. Here are some reactions:

    What a shame, open bigotry. Reaching moon is not the best indicator for development. Some countries with moon on their flags are much ahead on HDI than others who have flags on moon.
    During a proud national moment, you must add a communal angle, no? Pathetic

    New India. Where we celebrate our achievements by mocking others. What a shame. How easily Indians can spoil a happy cheerful mood in a second!!

    Even if you reach Saturn you will still be a small nation trying to one-up Pakistan. No grace at all. Build more toilets.

    May I disturb this bigoted story of yours with some reality? This is the Nepal flag, also with the crescent moon on it. Literally 'flagging' all 'Muslim' countries, is the essence of Islamophobic baiting & profiling. Wish you cd learn from Sri Lankan cricketers & rise above this. pic.twitter.com/HMPkexOE2V

    However, some like actor Kasturi Shankar found nothing offensive with the tweet, she wrote,

    Its a clever punch line, where is the offence in it? No need to paint religion and start a border war on twitter. ( also why is every paki response "get toilets first"? Is that the only thing you have more of than India?)

    I am A 24×7 energetic and cheerful soul. Hailing from Amritsar, I believe in sticking to the roots no matter where one lands up. I get the creative DNA of writing, dancing, and fine arts from the empowered women of my family. I listened to my heart so I opted for humanities over other streams. Now, pursuing Masters in mass communications, I intend to use my words to voice for what is right. I believe ‘laughter and dance’ are the secret ingredients in the recipe of my life. Thankful to God for having the best ever family, best ever partner and best ever friends, I wish to work each day to make them proud.
