“Shame”: Urmila Matondkar Slams Haryana BJP Leader’s Tweet On Dilip Kumar

The head of Haryana BJP’s social media and IT wing has been slammed by Shiv Sena leader Urmila Matondkar, after he took a crude swipe at iconic actor Dilip Kumar, who died this morning at 98.

In a tweet written in Hindi, Arun Yadav – whose Twitter bio says he is the “State IT & Social Media Head” for the BJP in Haryana – said: “The death of Mohammad Yusuf Khan (Dilip Kumar), who earned money by keeping a Hindu name in the film world, is an irreparable loss to the Indian film industry! Deepest condolences to the bereaved family!”

“God give peace to the departed soul,” the tweet continued.

Ms Matondkar, a popular actress who entered politics with the Congress ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha election, hit back with a caustic three-word tweet.

“Shame on you,” she wrote, with a ‘thumbs down’ emoji for added effect.
