The liberal ecosystem of India is imploding on Twitter. Friends and admirers have turned foes, throwing mud on each other as though they themselves have no sins to their credit. All in all, it is a delightful sight to say the least.
India has reported 126 positive cases of the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, with three deaths reported, the latest being that of an old woman in Mumbai. Faced with an imminent threat to public health and safety, self-claimed journalist and a known Islamist – Rana Ayyub went on a bit of a generalization spree last evening, calling everyone in India morally corrupt and already dead. To be precise, Ayyub tweeted, “What can a virus kill in a morally corrupt nation”. This has triggered an unprecedented storm on the rabid Islamist, with even her sympathizers and friends not extending the courtesy of supporting her.
What is left for a virus to kill in a morally corrupt nation

‘Journalist’ Swati Chaturvedi minced no words in taking Ayyub to the cleaners, however ironic that might sound. Ever since, her feed is filled with tweets and retweets against Rana Ayyub, and boy, it’s one hell of a sea of tweets. Swati called Ayyub, among the many things that Rana is, an ‘opportunist’, a ‘vile person’ and a ‘leper journalist’. She also said that Rana has as much empathy as a ‘door-knob’. Ouch.
What an opportunist tweet. Forget journalists what a disgusting person pic.twitter.com/bqa2C4TmSq

This disgusting person is the mirror image of the bigoted Hindutva extreme. Both exist & thrive to polarise & monetise https://t.co/FBn9qyQlfu

People are dying, india is battling a pandemic & this vile person who has the empathy of door knob is gloating. The joke is on you if you consider this moral leper a journalist pic.twitter.com/dZcd1zRP5m

In the meantime, Sonia Gandhi loyalist Pallavi Ghosh jumped in, and called Rana a ‘mean person’.
Only a mean soul would tweet this –

By now, Swati had used some more adjectives and called Rana Ayyub ‘sick’ and ‘nihilistic’.
FYI journalists speak truth to power ie the government of the day. They don’t gloat over deaths. You are sick & nihilistic when you want your country to go down

Next up, Abhisar Sharma stepped in, and Swati and him scratched each other’s backs for quite some time.
Shameful. What a hateful person she is @bainjal . Shameful https://t.co/0zIKAMCQnU
— Abhisar Sharma (@abhisar_sharma) March 17, 2020
Its people like this "Journalist" who are marking Muslims and journalists questioning this Govt. Creating lynch mobs by their hateful comments . Shameless
— Abhisar Sharma (@abhisar_sharma) March 17, 2020
Bulls eye. She is benefitting out of peddling hate . Agree
— Abhisar Sharma (@abhisar_sharma) March 17, 2020
I feel sorry for those who mistake Ms Ayyub for a journalist. She’s a dodgy opportunist sans any rigour https://t.co/YQQZjWrk1x

Although Rana and Swati were admirers of one another, what changed was perhaps Rana blocking Swati after the latter informed the Islamist that the CBI does not report to the Home Minster. Things have been sour ever since.
Rohini Singh, the journalist gifted with a 2 BHK flat, also discovered her empathetic and self-righteous self, by thrashing Rana Ayyub.
A 3 year old child has tested positive for Corona virus. Is she morally corrupt? It’s pretty heartless to say things like this when people are dying.
— Rohini Singh (@rohini_sgh) March 17, 2020
Am amazed by some people’s ability to make every tragedy about themselves and how they are being trolled. Be it Delhi riots & now Corona virus. Some of us have worked on stories that have exposed very powerful people and we do it without peddling our victimhood. #JustSaying
— Rohini Singh (@rohini_sgh) March 17, 2020
However, Rana was not willing to give up just yet.
CJI given a Rajya Sabha seat, a former judge dies under mysterious circumstances, a PM who is yet to visit victims of the carnage, a Home Minister who is not being grilled for his accountability, ministers getting away with hate speeches but hey lets not call it morally corrupt

Being the Islamist she is, thrashing Rana Ayyub could have made it case for ‘Islamophobia’. That the lesser sinners persisted nevertheless is commendable. Whoever may be the victor, this episode has exposed the fragility, and also the inhumanity of the Left-liberals in India. As for the Right, we’re right here with our popcorn!
