Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh finally broke his silence after he and his wife Geeta Basra were trolled when Singh posted a picture of her celebrating Karva Chauth. “Happy karwa chaouth biwi @Geeta_Basra now khao piyo moaj karo I am sure badi bukh lagi hogi,” Harbhajan tweeted after his wife Geeta broke her fast on the occasion. Apparently, a troll tried to rub Harbhajan on the wrong side and tried to give him a lesson on Sikhism. The troller wrote, ‘hypocrisy as per Shri Guru Granth Sahib ji.’
The criticism on celebrating a Hindu festival did not go down well with the Jalandhar-born cricketer who took to Twitter to respond to the troll. He responded rather sarcastically like how he did in his prime when Harbhajan was known to not take things lying down.
This is the highly talked about Tweet by Harbhajan Singh.

To this, the troll had the gall to give Harbhajan Singh a ‘lesson’ on Sikhism and this is his tweet.
Feeling sad to see a Punjabi is doing such a hypocrisy… Its called hypocrisy according to Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji…
