After
singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya
was
suspended
from
Twitter,
Sonu Nigam announced he was going to quit the microblogging service.
In an outburst spread over 24 tweets on Wednesday, Nigam described the social network as one “spewing venom” and “biased”. He expressed his anguish at the fact the Bhattacharya was suspended, and wrote: “I quit Twitter today in defiance of this one-sided sham. Every logical sensible patriot and humanist should.” In a later tweet to his 6.5 million followers, he said, “I hope I never need to return here to clarify, but I never say never! At his point, my pious life needs to declutter.”
Bhattacharya’s account was suspended from Twitter after some users complained of alleged misogynist and harassing tweets from his account.
