Sonu Nigam quitting Twitter after Abhijeet's account suspended

Mumbai, May 24: Singer Sonu Nigam announced on Wednesday that he quit Twitter and urged singer Abhijit Bhattacharya's micro-blogging account to "logical and intellectual patriots" to do the same. Sonu Nigam tweeted, "I quitted Twitter for this one-party offensive." He said: "One could disagree with Abhijeetda's language but isn't Shehla's accusation that BJP has a ***** racket, provocation enough to supporters?". "If his account is deleted, why not her? And the other morons who hurl... abuses to every achiever?" he asked. 

Twitter on Tuesday suspended the account of Abhijeet over sexist and offensive remarks, which stirred up a storm online. In a series of tweets, Abhijeet abused some women users, particularly JNU student-activist Shehla Rashid, following which Twitter took the action. When Shehla openly discussed about ***** scandals involving BJP leaders, she was "abused by Abhijeet and hundreds of Sanghi trolls". He's tweeted the ad's response to her statement: "She took money two hours ago and did not satisfy the client, Big Rocket."
