Watch: Aggressive Modi fans heckle TV journalist in Bengaluru eatery

A Twitter user Girish Alva, who appears to be a fan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, proudly posted a disturbing 5-second video of other fans of PM Modi heckling senior TV journalist Rajdeep Sardesai at a Bengaluru eatery on Monday. Sardesai is presently travelling in Karnataka to cover the upcoming assembly elections. While Sardesai was trying to have his meal, these aggressive fans of PM Modi and BJP went up to him and shouted “Modi, Modi" and “You are born in India, don’t hate Hindus.”

Alva’s shameful tweet proclaimed “"Rajdeep's Madison Square Moment in BLR Today" During breakfast in a Richmond Circle restaurant, unknown angry techie shouts at him: Techie: You are born in India, dont hate Hindus. Rajdeep: Don't you hv any decency. Techie: You dont have decency. U spread so much crap in news!” The tweet with the video can be seen below:

Rajdeep Sardesai, however, shared some heartening news that emerged from the disturbing incident, tweeting that "What these guys won't tell you is how everyone in restaurant came up and said sorry, these 'goons' don't represent Bengaluru or India sir! There is hope!” Sardesai responded to another Twitter user expressing support to him saying, “Arre sir, thanks by it's ok. Occupational hazard. Phir Subah hogi!”

The senior journalist ended up on top, gaining support, kudos and appreciation for his calm and sheer dignity in the face of such ugly behaviour.
