The government may have banned firecrackers on Diwali but the real fireworks are flying on Twitter. Jokes apart, senior IPS officer Roopa Divakar Moudgil, popularly known as D. Roopa, has been trending on the micro-blogging since past few days.
The reason behind it was that she had traded barbs with the popular Twitter handle True Indology over whether firecrackers are Indian or not. The war of words between the two began with the former questioning the need for bursting firecrackers on Diwali. The arguments got so heated up that Twitter ended up suspending True Indology's account.
Weighing on the Twitter spat between the IPS officer D. Roopa and the popular Twitter handle True Indology, Senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that it is unbecoming of IPS officers to be bickering with Twitter handles and "that too during working hours."
Sharing a piece of advice, he further stated, "Make a point, let it go, you aren't winning anything by arguing on social media!"
Meanwhile, coming out in support of True Indology, Delhi BJP leader Kapil Mishra said that this is the second time Twitter has "unreasonably" suspended the account, which is one of the most informative and decent handles on the platform.
