Playback singer Sonu Nigam is lashed out at the media after a publication falsely quoted him over the language row. The singer took to his Instagram on Thursday, and shared screenshots, which show his imposter account on social media engaging with Tejasvi Surya, Member of the Lok Sabha from Bengaluru.
In the screenshot, the imposter account of the singer on X, formerly Twitter, can be seen engaging in a spat with Tejasvi’s opinion.
Tejasvi Surya had written, “This behaviour by @TheOfficialSBI Branch Manager is simply not acceptable. If you are doing customer interface work in Karnataka, especially in a sector like banking , it is important to communicate to customers in the language they know. Being adamant like this is simply not right. I have time and again raised this issue of mandatorily posting local staff or staff who know the local language in banking operations, both inside and outside Parliament”.
