Gambhir came in support of the Muslim man who was attacked and asked to remove the skull cap in Gurgaon. He tweeted that it was a deplorable act and should be condemned. Another staunch supporter of BJP Anupam Kher advised him via a tweet to be careful and not fall into the trap.
What was Gambhir's tweet that got him trolled heavily and to get advice from Kher? Just two days after the 2019 election results, an incident happened in Gurgaon, which is famous for such incidents even in the previous BJP regime. Many Muslims were not allowed to pray in the afternoon in public places. They were insulted and attacked many times last year. Again on May 25 a Muslim man was allegedly slapped by a group of people and asked to remove his skull cap. He was also made to chant Jai Shri Ram.
Reacting to this incident the new BJP MP from Delhi Gautham Gambhir tweeted yesterday, that this kind of act is deplorable and the concerned authorities should take exemplary actions in the matter. On being trolled Gautham Gambhir answered that having been a sports person he was used to criticism and did not worry about it.
