American comedian Jeremy McLallen who is also famous for his funny tweets has managed to rile up Indian social media users after posting an edited picture of himself with Indian pilot Abhinandan Varthaman.
In the image posted on Twitter by Jeremy, the Indian pilot can be seen drinking the famous cup of tea given to him during his 60-hour capture in Pakistan in February last year, with the wreckage of downed Indian Air Force (IAF) Mig-21 fighter jet in the background.
The tweet said, “Stay Home, Stay Safe”.
The post sparked fury among Indian social media users but the comedian continued with his trolling. “Why are Indians messaging me saying he’s a hero. I know he’s a hero that’s why I gave him tea and took a picture with him,” he tweeted later.
He then shared a screenshot of a message by an Indian Twitter user named Amit Kumar who asked McLellan if he (Jeremy) was a terrorist.
McLellan was not done there. He proceeded to post another edited photo of himself with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
