Speaking at event in Gwalior, one of India’s most celebrated entrepreneurs Ratan Tata, expressed his concern over the alleged growing ‘intolerance’ in India, calling it a curse.
The remark obviously was bound to evoke reactions from people. Twitteratis were quick to take digs at BJP and prime minister Narendra Modi.
Many targetted BJP and took silent digs at PM Modi

However, there were a few BJP supporters who criticised his comment
Yes. And Tata motors launched the age of intolerance by allegedly forcing @fakingnews to delete a joke on Nano. Please confirm @rahulroushan https://t.co/jATmMblnmD
