<p>Bollywood singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya who has a penchant for being in the news with his controversial statements, has made not one, but many and raked up an all-new controversy.</p>
<p>His insensitive tweet, in which he tagged even the Prime Minister's Office, on the murder of S. Swathi, the Infosys techie in Chennai, has raised people's heckles.</p>
<p>In the the tweet, Abhijeet suggested that the murder was due to 'love jihad'.</p>
<p><img title="Abhijeet is no stranger to controversy" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/may/7-Abhijeet-singer.jpg" alt="Abhijeet is no stranger to controversy" width="670" height="600" /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>Abhijeet is no stranger to controversy</strong></em></span></p>
<p>He posted an article by a Hindu right-wing website that suggested that the murder was meant to terrorise other love iihad victims.</p>
<p>Abhijeet's tweet, which he has deleted since, read, "Hindu parents want #JusticforSwati /revenge 4 our child #SWATI who ws butchered by #LoveJihad."</p>
<p>This got him a lot of brickbats on Twitter with people condemning him and asking for his arrest.</p>
<p>Responding to his tweet, journalist <span>Swati Chaturvedi tweeted, "</span>@abhijeetsinger is jealous of Pakistani singers who took his mediocre career! Even tried to incite SS against them!"</p>
<p>This got Abhijeet's goat and he started ranting against her, Pakistanis and singers from the neighbouring country. What made matters worse was that he was egged on by 'right-wing' bhakts.</p>

<p>Chaturvedi got some support from Twitterati for Abhijeet's personal attacks on her and his rants against Pakistani singers.</p>
<p>But as usual he got a lot of support from 'bhakts' who came out of the woodwork to egg him on. While we have included some of the posts supporting the singer, the others were too abusive and deregatory to be included. &nbsp;</p>
