On the auspicious occasion of Janmashthami, former Union Finance Minister of India Arun Jaitley breathed his last. After a life filled with stellar achievements, he passed away peacefully in AIIMS, New Delhi. While the nation is mourning the loss of a cherished leader, ‘liberals’ and Pakistanis appear to be in a particularly celebratory mood.
They don’t have much to celebrate these days, therefore, they have been reduced to celebrating the passing away of Hindutvavadi politicians. They had engaged similar behaviour on the death of former Union Minister of External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj too, and they are treading the same path now.
A columnist at The Quint and The Hindu, one who goes by the name Quentin Tarantulino on Twitter, said that he ‘loves’ it when ‘fascists’ die. For those unaware, Leftists consider everyone to the Right of Chairman Mao to be fascists.
Love it when fascists die

According to ‘Tarantulino’, the deaths of ‘fascists’ could not come sooner.
Unless they’re fascists, in which case all deaths have come too late.

Baba Glocal, feted by the internet ‘liberal’ community, called Arun Jaitley a ‘piece of shit’ and said he had no sympathies with ‘Hindu supremacist neo-Nazi flag bearers’.
You mourn & sympathize, while I sit & wonder how a piece of shit rose to such great heights, sat at lit fests among “intellectuals” and basically defended every criminal fascist act of the BJP without blinking an eye, in top notch Queen’s English. Got applauded too. #ArunJaitley

According to Glocal, Arun Jaitley was one of the few people who could defend ‘Nazism in perfect English’.
One of the very few people in the BJP who could defend Nazism in impeccable English. https://t.co/xcTLJlJRaU

Swain, meanwhile, was a bit more cryptic on this occasion rather than his usual vitriolic self. But his sentiments were fairly obvious.
Not only crocodiles, those who shed their crocodile tears are also dangerous!

Another person opined that Arun Jaitley cannot be excused, he had blood on his hands apparently.
No excuse. Blood on hands cannot be washed off easily. https://t.co/s5N3CI82hy

Others insinuated that Arun Jaitley wasn’t really a good person because he ‘supported’ a fascist.
Arun jaitley passed away today. So we’ll get to see a lot of posts that describe how good he was. It’s difficult to ignore that however good or kind or talented he was, he still supported a fascist.

There were some others who said calling Jaitley ‘dignified’ is a stretch and he was a Modi-Shah ‘clone’.
Sharp & witty are a good lawyer’s USP but Dignified is a stretch. He cast aside his better qualities while becoming a Modi-Shah clone. Seems mandatory for the cheerleading mantris. One needs reflect on how stressful is the inner caucus path that they’re succumbing in numbers https://t.co/0iAem7coYA

It appears to be a regular pattern following the death of any BJP leader. The common decency of not tarnishing the memory of honourable men on the occasion of their demise is not one that is accorded to politicians of a saffron hue by self-styled liberals. During such moments, one is forced to ask, “What can men do against such reckless hate?”
