Kiran Bedi trolled by netizens

Puducherry, July 16: Puducherry lieutenant governor Kiran Bedi has been trolled by netizens over her congratulating tweet on FIFA World Cup 2018, which won by France.

As France won the FIFA World Cup 2018 defeating Croatia in the final on Sunday, Kiran Bedi fired a tweet celebrating it as the win for Puducherrians since the union territory was once under French control.

Bedi also congratulated France and apparently the people of Puducherry for achieving the feat.

"We the Puducherrians (erstwhile French Territory) won the World Cup. Congratulations Friends. What a mixed team-all French. Sports unites,": Bedi said in a tweet.

The former Indian Police Services officer's association with French win, even as Puducherry is part of India, wasn't missed by her followers on Twitter and she was trolled by the users.

One user drew an analogy, "Imagine if England would have won, RSS would have declared a national holiday," taking on her brief association with Bhartiya Janata Party before being appointed the LG of Puducherry.

A Twitter user said, "We are Indians Madam. Your publicity stunts need to stop." Another asked if this tweet will be considered anti-national.
