Twitter calls out Harbhajan Singh for abusing Pakistani woman journalist

Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh triggered anger, disgust and outrage after he abused a Pakistani woman journalist on Twitter.

Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Amir have been engaging in a Twitter spat, hurling abuses at one another after the latter took a dig at the former in a couple of tweets.

The Pakistani woman journalist tagged Harbhajan Singh in a video from the Lahore Test match that was played between India and Pakistan in 2006.

One of the most memorable events from the match was former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi dismantling Harbhajan in an over, hitting him for four consecutive sixes in an over.

“For your reference, highly educated cricketer,” tweeted the woman journalist.

Harbhajan Singh shot back with a very rude response.

After his brutal reply, Twitterati called out the former cricketer.

Here are a few reactions:

In another video that he uploaded on Twitter to clarify the Mohammad Amir controversy, Harbhajan Singh took aim at Pakistani journalists as well.

“You [Mohammad Amir] sold the country and these [Pakistani] journalists are supporting him,” he said in the video.

“Well done,” he said, clapping. “It shows what you are.”

“Learn something from Dhoni and Dravid on how to be a gentleman,” tweeted another Indian woman.

He also misbehaved with another journalist after she said that the whole Sikh community would feel ashamed of him for his “dirty comments”.
