#BlockNarendraModi: Hashtag to protest against abuses hurled on Gauri Lankesh
New Delhi, Sep 7 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been dragged into a controversy as he follows few Twitter users who were seen abusing journalist-turned activist, Gauri Lankesh, who was shot dead outside her residence by some unknown assailants on Tuesday evening.
Lankesh, who worked as editor in a Kannada weekly Lankesh Patrikewas, was a critic of the right wing forces.
Since PM Modi follows those Twitter handles who abused the 55-year-old senior journalist, the angry people preferred to block the Prime Minister instead by launching a hashtag #BlockNarendraModi.
After Lankesh's death, Nikhil Dadhich tweeted to say: "Ek kuttiya kutte ki maut kya mari, saare pille ek sur mein bilbila rahe hain (Just a bitch has died a dog's death, all pups are howling in the same tune)."
Later, it was found that the PM follows Dadhich which sparked controversies.
Since then, several users started to block PM Modi as a protest.
All of them who has blocked Modi tagged someone named Dr Rakesh Parikh. Parikh claims to be Diabetologist, Clinical Researcher, Blogger, Social Activist. Ex Politician on Twitter.
Blocking the PM, Amit Behere said: "Doing something I should have done a long time back. Thanks @drrakeshparikh."
Another user, Vidyut, said: "A Prime Minister who serves a third of the country and follows those indulging in filthy abuse of others is rubbish. #BlockNarendraModi."
"#BlockNarendraModi Anyone who follows vile, vicious abusive trolls isnt & will never be my PM" Sandipan Mitra said while blocking Modi.
