Noted film maker Anurag Kashyap, who in the past has had many run-ins with the Modi government, is finding himself at the receiving end yet again over his tweet regarding the extension of lockdown by the Union Home Ministry.

Just a few days after the lockdown extension was ordered, the filmmaker tweeted.

“Lockdowns will keep going on.. they’re not going to stop. The government has no plan, no strategy and has no money either. It’s time for all parties, economists, scientists, corporates to come together, And find a workable solution. Initiative has to come from the PM himself,” his tweet read.

But some of his fans on twitter haven’t taken the criticism of the government well.

Reactions:

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
