‘Did you remove diya because it was non-Islamic’: Arfa Khanum Sherwani gets slammed for tweet on Dusshera, others wonder if tweet was ‘Danish Kaneria effect’

It is important to note that this post comes a day after former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria asked The Wire ‘journalist’ Arfa Khanum Sherwani to migrate to Pakistan. He also challenged the senior editor of the leftist propaganda outlet to show any tweet that she had posted in support of Bharat and its culture.

On Tuesday, the Wire ‘journalist’ Arfa Khanum Sherwani who peddles the leftist, Islamist agenda was slammed by netizens for editing a post she posted on the occasion of Dussehra. Sherwani initially tweeted wishing people ‘Happy Dussehra’ and added an emoji of a lamp (diya) which symbolizes the triumph of light over dark and good over evil. However, she later edited the post and removed the emoji of the lamp.

After this, netizens slammed the journalist for editing the post and indicated that she removed the emoji may be because it was a Hindu symbol. One of the users with id @SmokingLiberals commented on the post and questioned, “Edit karke diya isiliye hataya kyunki non-islamic that? (Did you remove the diya emoji because it was non-Islamic?)”

Meanwhile, another user also questioned the ‘journalist’ asking about what was the reason behind editing the post and removing the lamp from the original post. “Diya kyu hataya (why did you remove diya?” asked one @ShrivastavAni as he thanked former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria for challenging the ‘journalist’ into praising the Indian culture the other day.

However, others indicated that this was the first time the ‘journalist’ had posted something aligned with the Hindu festival. They also indicated that this was because of Danish Kaneria who challenged the senior editor of the leftist propaganda outlet on October 23 to show any tweet that she had posted in support of Bharat and its culture.

It is important to note that this post comes a day after former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria asked The Wire ‘journalist’ Arfa Khanum Sherwani to migrate to Pakistan. He also challenged the senior editor of the leftist propaganda outlet to show any tweet that she had posted in support of Bharat and its culture.

The saga began after Sherwani accused the Indian cricket fans of supposedly displaying ‘majoritarianism’ during the 2023 World Cup. Danish Kaneria then asked The Wire ‘journalist’ to leave India if she had issues with her Indian entity.

Sherwani however accused Kaneria of posting communal trolls against her. After a series of tweet spat between the duo Kaneria then lashed out at Arfa Khanum Sherwani and said, “Let’s end the debate with a single answer – Just show me a single tweet in which you praised Bharat and its culture.”

A day after this, Sherwani who probably never exchanged wishes on any Hindu festival, who believes that saying ‘Bharat Mata ki Jay’ is communal and a majoritarian slogan, wished on Dusshera tweeting, “Happy Dusshera”. While the tweet seemed to shock many of her Islamist followers, others slammed her for editing the lamp (diya) emoji from the tweet, which symbolizes the triumph of light over dark and good over evil on the Hindu festivals.
