Hema Malini posts ‘insensitive’ tweets, later deletes them

Synopsis

In an age of hyper-social media activism, public figures should be ‘sensitive’ about what they tweet. They might get trolled or even worse damage might be in store.

 

As Mathura reels under tense situation the sitting MP Hema Malini was caught on ‘wrong foot’.  She with her insensitive tweet not only invited criticism but also put her party on a tight spot.

 

Before Hema Malini could have been trolled for her ‘insensitive’ tweet, the actress deleted her tweets.     

 

The Mathura MP today uploaded photos of her film shoot from her twitter account at a time when her constituency is reeling under tense situation.

 

 

 

Clashes between encroachers and the police broke out yesterday in her constituency killing 24 people including a senior police official.

 

The actress, however, removed the tweets and condoled about the death of the police officials in yesterday’s clashes.  

 

The actor, in a damage control mode, tweeted that she had just come back from her constituency.  

 

The BJP had to swing into some damage control act.

 

"As far as this issue of Hema Malini reaching Mathura is concerned, I am sure she will be reaching Mathura... Let's not divert the issue as to when Hema Malini will be reaching Mathura. The major issue is law and order is a state subject. The chief minister has to reach there and take stock of the law and order situation," party spokesperson Sambit Patra told PTI.

 

This is not the first time that the MP has been in the news for her tweets. After actress Pratyusha Banerjee’s suicide, Hema Malini had tweeted the act as “senseless suicide ”.
