Lt Governor Kiran Bedi trolled for congratulating France for FIFA victory

In a nail-biting match yesterday, France defeated Croatia and the former fans were celebrating all night.

So did the first IPS woman of India- Kiran Bedi, but her tweet wasn’t well received.

Bedi, who is a popular figure on Twitter with more than 11 million followers, tweeted:

We the Puducherrians (erstwhile French Territory) won the World Cup.
???? Congratulations Friends.
What a mixed team-all French.
Sports unites.

Soon after her tweet, the Twitter user ridiculed her and even asked her to pull the tweet down.

There are other ways to celebrate a French victory than to be so servile

I’m a born Pondicherrian, I don’t feel I’ve won at all

France won, and it’s a game and I love the game.I don’t need the crutch of a colonial mindset to enjoy

Please do consider pulling this tweet down.
