As the trailer for the second season of Hindi crime series ‘Mirzapur’ released on Tuesday, a section of Twitter users have been trending #BoycottMirzapur2. The show’s lead actor Ali Fazal is one of the reasons for the ongoing discontent.<\/p>\n

Several people have shared a purported tweet of Fazal celebrating the Delhi riots. The tweet reads, “PROTESTS : SURU MAJBOORI MEIN KIYE THHEY, AB MAJA AA RAHA HAI!!” which translates to, “Protests: Started due to helplessness but now it’s exciting.” The tweet carries a photograph<\/a> of Intelligence Bureau staffer Ankit Sharma’s body being pulled out of a drain. Sharma was killed during the communal violence and his body was recovered from a drain<\/a> on February 26.<\/p>\n

Twitter user @srikanthbjp_ shared the purported tweet drawing close to 500 retweets.<\/p>\n

It has in fact been shared by numerous Twitter users.<\/p>\n

\n

Before watching #mirzapurseason2<\/a>
\nDo not forget this tweet of @alifazal9<\/a>
\nIf you watch his series, you are supporting his anti India stance. pic.twitter.com\/WUxhVMSTVm<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Arif Aajakia (@arifaajakia) October 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pro-BJP website OpIndia<\/a> published an article on Fazal which carried many other such tweets.<\/p>\n

\n

Fazal had supported the violent anti-CAA protests that had eventually culminated into the horrific anti-Hindu riots in northeast Delhihttps:\/\/t.co\/uhio3ew4Zp<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 OpIndia.com (@OpIndia_com) October 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Misleading claim<\/h4>\n

Fazal had indeed made a tweet which he later took down, however:<\/p>\n

1) His tweet was related to CAA protests, not the Delhi riots.<\/p>\n

2) He did not share the photograph of Ankit Sharma.<\/p>\n

The tweet in question was posted on December 19, 2019, two months prior to the Delhi riots. An archived link to the tweet can be accessed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fazal had also given his reasons to delete the tweet. He felt that it might be used to mislead “vulnerable” individuals on social media.<\/p>\n

\n

Nai actually, like many other things, the bigots mislead. They wont mislead me but the janta sometimes is vulnerable . Aur masala daalne mein toh maahir hain sab. Wont let ppl fall for that. Not on my timeline. Toh tum jheete? Correct? Ok<\/p>\n

As evident, Fazal did not celebrate IB staffer Ankit Sharma’s death but his tweet was meant for the protests against CAA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
