Here’s what Sonu Nigam has to say while quitting Twitter:
1. Hello press, Twitteratis, Tweeples and Tweetios, get ready to take screen shots of my following messages, for they won’t remain here for long.
2. I bid adieu to Twitter and my close to seven million followers today, leaving most disappointed and angry at me, and some sadists happy.
3. I have come to understand that ‘you can wake up someone who’s sleeping, but cannot wake up the one who’s pretending to sleep when he’s awake’.
4. Media, is divided. Some nationalists, some just cold blooded pseudos not ready to learn from our history of traitors.
5. I have seen love pouring in from most quarters for my balanced approach, and unreasonable, illogical, ruthless profanities being hurled from other.
6. People blessing you on one hand and some wishing death upon you. Even some young girls and boys and kids behave like terrorists.
7. A woman can endorse a picture of Gautam Gambhir in the front of the Army jeep, and Paresh Rawal criticised for doing the same to someone else.
8. Accepted that Arundhati Roy has the right to her opinion about Kashmir, but then the other billion Indians have the right to feel let down too, right?
9. And we have stopped being humans. We are nothing beyond proud Muslims, Hindus, Pakistanis and Indians. Gosh. Such arrogance for being so stupid?
10. One could disagree with Abhijeetda’s language but isn’t Shehla’s accusation that BJP has a sex racket, provocation enough to supporters?
11. If his account is deleted, why not hers? And the other morons’ who hurl mother-sister abuses to every achiever?
12. Where’s the balance? How is it all so one sided? Why is everyone so angry here on Twitter? Why can’t there be a sensible discussion?
13. It only goes to prove that most humans cannot digest power when it comes to them unchecked. They need reins to hold them back.
14. I have nothing against Twitter, it’s a game changer. Yet Twitter could have been a greater platform. It’s like porn shown in theatres.
15. I quit Twitter today in defiance of this one-sided sham. Every logical and sensible patriot and humanist should.
16. I am sorry I don’t belong to a place which spews so much venom with such relish! A place that taints me anti-Muslim in some losers’ minds.
17. I have no religion. I follow my own religion choosing the best from everywhere. Those who understand, know; those who don’t, my condolences.
18. I don’t belong to a place where some pseudo intellectuals actually turn a blind eye to the unprecedented slap I gave to the fatwa proclaimers on me.
19. I am no Right Wing, No Left Wing. I respect everyone’s opinions but I guess here, you have to belong somewhere.
20. I hope I never need to return here to clarify, but I never say never! At this point, my pious life needs to declutter.
21. I don’t know what will be made out of these threads of mine, and what new controversy I’ll get into. But this should be the last due to Twitter.
22. And if there’s a newer platform with some filter, I’d be owning it! We’ll see each other there. Goodbye till then, 6.5 millions.
23. People getting married? You can actually know the entire psychology and class of a partner by just going through his Twitter timeline.
24. Shall delete the account in a bit so the messages are conveyed clearly and with utmost humility and good intent. Thanks, Twitter.
