It wasn't a good day for Billiards player and Arjuna Awardee, Pankaj Advani, who got trolled after posting a tweet congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being declared the best Prime Minister in the world.
A lot of people fell for the hoax after a WhatsApp message declaring that UNESCO had declared Modi as the best PM of the world, went viral.
'Nationalists' took no time in exchanging congratulatory messages on Twitter, beaming with pride on the international validation!
Anti National AAPtards & Congies are feeling jealous that our PM has been selected as the best PM of world by UNESCO.

It was just the hoax that was in news, until, India's most successful cueist Pankaj Advani also fell for it, and naively tweeted this:
Congratulations @narendramodi sir for being declared the best PM in the world by @UNESCO #ProudIndian @PMOIndia
— Pankaj Advani (@PankajAdvani247) June 24, 2016
And the internet showed no mercy. A parody account of Chetan Bhagat also trolled Advani!
Also @UNESCO has declared @smritiirani best HRD minister in heavy weight category Please retweet @PankajAdvani247 https://t.co/xAsD8LXbiD

But the young player, who is a 15-time World Billiards and Snooker Champion, had a best comeback for everyone who called him out for his tweet.
I know I got my facts wrong but this apparently gets more attention than when I win a WORLD TITLE!! 🙄🙄 🙏🏻 https://t.co/vWeBwdeuaO
