Why is #ModiInsultsIndia trending on Twitter?

Written by : TNM

A week remains in marking one year of the Modi government in power and while TV channels have been dissecting the achievements of the BJP government, but many on Twitter don’t seem to be too happy. #ModiInsultsIndia is currently trending on the micro-blogging website and the origin of the trend may have been an article in The Hindu after the PM had visited China. "Earlier, you felt ashamed of being born Indian," Modi reportedly said. "Now you feel proud to represent the country," the PM is quoted as saying by the newspaper during his visit to the Indian community in China. While there wasn’t much backlash to his statement in China, Twitter doesn’t seem to be in a forgiving mood. Here are a few tweets from the hashtag:Suprabhatam! Always proud to be Indian. Have a great day. — Rajdeep Sardesai (@sardesairajdeep) May 19, 2015With due respect to PM & the NRIs in Seoul cheering him, I don't believe we were ever ashamed of being Indian at any time.
