Why the so-called liberal spewing intense hate
 
Major General G.D. Bakshi has become the eye of the storm of so-called liberals because of his open and liberal views. His nationalistic views and support for anti-terrorism operation is something that the so-called liberals hate. He was even vocal on the matter of Pulwama attack and openly supported taking the strongest actions against the terrorists hiding in Pakistan.
When the above tweet went viral, many so-called liberals started trolling and threatening the airline. They even shamed the airline for honouring a war veteran, who has been respected by crores of India citizens. Now, it seems that the airlines has bowed down to the hate and trolling and deleted the tweet. In its statement, Air Vistara said that since the recent post which had an image of Major General G D Bakshi (Retd.) and 2 air hostesses had received a lot of abuses directed toward all the parties concerned, they decided to delete the tweet.
