Brickbats for Pakistani journalist for trolling Sakshi Malik's Olympic win
Omar R Quraishi, a senior journalist's insenstive tweet on the bronze medal winner is making waves in twitter for all the wrong reasons.
Mumbai: After Shobha De, Pakistani journalist Omar R Quraishi's insensitive tweet has offended Indians all over. When Sakshi Malik's bronze medal win was being celebrated by the nation and every Indian was swelling with pride, this journalist had a 'different' take on our euphoric sentiments.
The man did not refrain from expressing his discontent on our reasons to celebrate.
Finally one of the 119 competitors that India sent to Rio has won a medal - a bronze - now see how they portray it as if they won 20 golds

Within no time, Quraishi was being shamed by many, including Amitabh Bachchan.
@omar_quraishi Omar ..! for me it is worth a thousand golds, and even that is not enough. Pride for Sakshi, pride that she is a woman

Quraishi, went on with his rant and replied to the superstar as well.
Moral of the story is that it takes a teeli tweet for Amitabh Bachchan to respond to you if you are from Pakistan https://t.co/5JiBwd6S8Y
