Former Union Minister and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor was trolled today for posting the picture of Gautam Buddha instead of Lord Mahavir when he tweeted to wish the people on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti.
However, Tharoor, former UN Diplomat and author of several books, admitted his mistake after his tweet on Mahavir Jayanti with the picture of Gautam Bhuddha triggered a row.
"Since it seems our media has found nothing more newsworthy than my innocent mistake, do see how Mahavira is depicted by all these mainstream publications!", Tharoor, MP from Thiruvananthapuram, tweeted later attaching the links of the sources of his picture.
"Authentic, accepted alternatives most welcome. At least, thanks to my apparent error", Tharoor added.
Most of the criticism was about how such a mistake had happened to a prolific writer like Shashi Tharoor.
