Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has faced a barrage of hate posts on social media, prompting him to engage in a heated exchange with trolls. The criticism stemmed from his commentary during the T20 World Cup 2024 and his political career as a Rajya Sabha MP.
Harbhajan's commentary at the IPL drew criticism from a troll, to which he responded, "Yes plz leave .. u are listening to me waha and yaha so please leave." He also shared a tweet expressing gratitude for not facing similar criticism elsewhere.
The trolls also questioned Harbhajan's attendance and contributions as a Rajya Sabha MP. In response, he stated, "Bhai mera sara salary goes for educating kids who can't afford it not a single penny goes for my own use. and I am also a tax payer like you.. itna gusaa nahi karte.. and if u do wanna get some education let me know I will take care of ur study too.. u need to learn TAMEEZ."
Harbhajan's involvement as a pundit at the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 in USA and West Indies has also been a target of criticism. However, he has remained unfazed, continuing to provide his insights and analysis.
The incident highlights the growing trend of online harassment faced by public figures, particularly on social media platforms. It also raises questions about the responsibility of social media companies in combating hate speech and cyberbullying.
