Criticised For Editing "Modi Ka Pariwar" Line On X, Anil Vij's Angry Retort

In a lengthy post on X today, Anil Vij accused those targeting him of playing foul and suggested that they should have allowed him to clarify the matter before mounting a public attack.

Former Haryana Minister Anil Vij is upset with BJP leaders and supporters who have attacked him for moving down the "Modi ka Pariwar" tagline in his bio on X, formerly Twitter. In a lengthy post on the social media platform today, Mr Vij accused those targeting him of playing foul and suggested that they should have allowed him to clarify the matter before mounting a public attack. सब को पता है की मैं अब एक्स हो गया हूं और सभी जगह पर मुझे एक्स लिखना चाहिए । परंतु जब मैं X पर अपनी प्रोफाइल में एक्स लिखने लगा तो नाम में लिखे जाने वाले अक्षरों को संख्या निश्चित संख्या से ज्यादा हो गई तो उस में से ( मोदी का परिवार ) जो कि मैं हूं ही वह ऊपर से हटाकर नीचे लगाना…

When the leaders of the BJP started the "Modi ka Pariwar' campaign on social media, most put the words in brackets next to their name. So did Mr Vij, but after being dropped from the Harya cabinet, his X bio read "Anil Vij Ex - Home Minister Haryana, India'. The next line read "Ex - Home and Health Minister Haryana, India (Modi ka Pariwar)" -- a change many interpreted as a sign of his angst and rebellion.

"Everyone knows that I have become 'ex' now and I should write 'ex' everywhere," Mr Vij said in his Hindi post.
