When a crusading paper has to apologise for printing the wrong flyover in a government advertisement but no one has to apologise for thinking #AbbaJaan is a slur.

All those hyperventilating about @myogiadityanath using the phrase #AbbaJaan were celebrating when Former PM Manmohan Singh announced that Muslims have the first claim over India’s resources.

My language might be different but it means the same. Abba Jaan, Papa both are same. We can’t let a Chief Minister demean something as beautiful as Abba Jaan. Please don’t ignore this. Participate in this trend.#HamareAbbaJaan pic.twitter.com/Kv10YcTZAO

Heartwarming to read all the #HamareAbbaJaan stories. Of love, fatherhood and compassion. On the other side, I can’t even imagine living in a country where everyday you wake up to the majority telling you in different ways that they hate you, that they don’t want you. I’m sorry.
