BJP Leader Gets Trolled After Tweeting Greetings On Good Friday.

Two senior BJP leaders were left with embarrassment after they set Twitter buzz with criticism by “wishing happiness” on the occasion of Good Friday, a day observed to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Mr Sharma later deleted his tweet.

“May you be blessed with goodness and prosperity. Happy #GoodFriday,” Mr Sharma had tweeted, while Mr Hussain said, “Warm Greetings on #GoodFriday to all of you!”

The irony of “greetings” on the solemn occasion was not lost on Twitterati who called for “classes” on how “not to wish” while a few pointed out that the tweets were in “bad taste”.

Mr Sharma later corrected his faux pas and tweeted,

I wish you all blessings of #GoodFriday as a dedication to the sacrifice of Lord Jesus Christ and to remember his noble and pious thoughts

BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain tweeted, “Warm Greetings on #GoodFriday to all of you!”. He later deleted his tweet but there were reactions.

@dr_maheshsharma, @ShahnawazBJP #GoodFriday is observed as a day of prayers. We expected more awareness frm a doc and a culture minister.
