After a video of the Indian cricket team getting tilak applied on the foreheads of players during a reception at a hotel went viral, a social media storm erupted in which two players, Mohammad Siraj and Imran Malik, were slapped with a ring. He was criticized for avoiding this tilak.
It should be noted that this video recently surfaced on social media in which hotel staff can be seen applying tilak on the foreheads of Indian cricket team players entering through a door one after the other.
In the same video, when Mohammad Siraj and Imran Malik are seen, they go ahead avoiding tilak.
It should be noted that apart from Muhammad Siraj and Imran Malik, some other members of the Indian team also avoided tilak.
However, after a section of social media criticized Muslim players Mohammad Siraj and Imran Malik, many users have come out in support of them, who have started quoting examples of Prime Minister Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. .
Muhammad Siraj kept trending on Twitter in both Hindi and English languages. There are no details on when or where this video is from, but it is speculated that it is either during the series against New Zealand or during the series against Sri Lanka.
While sharing this video clip, Suresh Chauhanke, CMD and Editor-in-Chief of Sudarshan TV criticized Mohammad Siraj and Imran Malik and wrote that 'Mohammed Siraj and Imran Malik did not tilak on their foreheads during the reception. planted He is a player of Indian team not Pakistan. Even after becoming an international (level) player, he is strict about his religion.
His tweet has been viewed a million times, more than 11,000 people have liked it and more than 5,000 people have retweeted it, while more than 600 people have commented on it.
A user Varan Dev even wrote that 'There is nothing wrong in applying tilak, by doing this, the players have disrespected the players, so action should be taken against them.'
However, on the attempt to give a religious and national color to the video, Muhammad Zubair, co-founder of the fact-checking website Alt News, wrote with a screenshot of at least four tweets that Vikram Rathore and Hariprasad Mohan also did not apply tilak but Suresh Chauhanke and other right-wing accounts are all focused on Muslim players like Imran Malik and Mohammad Siraj.'
A verified account named Mr. Sinha wrote, "I have no problem with Mohammad Siraj not getting tilak applied." This is perfectly fine and they have every right to refuse. This does not make them anti-Hindu or sectarian. The problem is that Hindus wear caps and crosses and go to shrines and do other things like that to pretend to be secular.'
Siraj's tilak and Modi's cap:
After being trolled, many users defended Siraj by reminding him of Indian Prime Minister Modi wearing a hat. Earlier, when Mohammad Shami was trolled, many cricketers came out in support of him.
A user named Dhaval Chopra wrote that 'Vikram Rathore didn't even apply, even being a Hindu he refused. Not even a single player followed Siraj. It is their choice to apply tilak or not. Modi ji also does not wear a mesh hat. This is the freedom that democracy gives you. Stop this stupid hate.'
A user named Ahmad Ishaq wrote: If Yogiji refuses to wear a cap at the shrine, he remains silent. If Modi ji refuses to wear a cap, he remains silent. But if Muhammad Siraj, Imran Malik forbid tilak, they start itching. If Siraj doesn't get vaccinated, he doesn't wear a hat or a hat.
Responding to Mr. Suresh, a journalist and poet Kaushik Raj wrote that "Mohammed Siraj and Imran Malik raise the name of the country before the world." Did you show any show to an outsider, his view of the country will be spoiled.'
A user posted a picture of Imran Malik, in which he is getting tilak, and wrote, "What to say now?"
