Popular filmmaker, Anurag Kashyap who is known for his bold statements has in a turn of events deleted his Twitter account on Saturday night around 9 pm. Just before deleting his account, his last two posts conveyed that not only did the filmmaker but also his daughter and his parents received threats due to his political opinions on the ruling government.
He wrote, “When your parents start to get calls and your daughter gets online threats you know that no one wants to talk. There isn't going to be reason or rationale. Thugs will rule and thuggery will be the new way of life. Congratulations everyone on this new India & hope you all thrive.”
He further tweeted, “Wish you all the happiness and success. This would be my last tweet as I leave Twitter. When I won't be allowed to speak my mind without fear than I would rather not speak at all. Good bye.”
This is not the first time that the director has spoken about receiving threats on social media. He had earlier congratulated PM Modi on his victory in the General Elections 2019 and informed him that he had received a threat targeting his daughter.
