Chetan Bhagat tweets on JNU, all Twitterati not amused

New Delhi, Jan 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) Writer Chetan Bhagat on Sunday was trolled by netizens after he tweeted on the Jawaharlal Nehru University. One section, however, supported him.

He wrote on @chetan_bhagat: "JNU is just one college.

"There are nearly 40,000 colleges in India.

"I understand it is important. But there is a limit to how much importance and attention one college gets.

"There are more important issues in a country of 1.2bn people I am sure."

The post got 4K retweets and 21.2K likes.

One user wrote: "Surely there are, Chetan. But in how many other colleges have students been dubbed 'anti-national' and 'Tukde Tukde gang' based on some fake videos? In how many other colleges have they been beaten with rods, sticks and axes?"

"It's not a college. It's a weed farm and must be crushed like how farmers de-weed their farmland," remarked another.

"JNU is an anti-India manufacturing unit and these people are no better than enemies of the country," read another post.

One user said: "Illegal migrants in India merely 0.05%. I understand it is important, but there's limit. How can only for 0.05% government making 99.95% people suffer?

"There are more important issues in a country of 1.35 billion people, I'm sure."

A user commented: "You are just one author. There are many in India. You think you are important but limit yourself how much importance you give to yourself."

A Twitter user posted a screenshot of a dictionary and tweeted: "Half writer... for you... the difference between a college and university."
