90 per cent Indians can relax, Markandey Katju exits social media

Disappointed with the response he has been getting from social media users, Justice Markandey Katju, former chairman of Press Council of India, has decided to quit being on social media.

Katju blasted Indians calling most of them 'stupid' and 'arrogant' with no desire to learn.

In a post initially published on Facebook he said, "I tried to pass on all my knowledge I acquired in my life to you, so that you may benefit? But what did I get in return? I got mostly abuses from most of you, because most of you are stupid and arrogant, and have no desire to learn", (SIC) and added "I am sorry I even tried to teach you".

He then took a screenshot of the post and posted it on Twitter with a caption reading 'Goodbye'.

Probably not able to vent all his anger, Katju then 'pinned' another Facebook post, this time only longer, to his Twitter profile, that currently has over 1,08,000 followers.

In this post he said, "I have been passing on to you through my Facebook posts and blogs the knowledge I had acquired after over half a century tremendous study, discussions and reflection, to help you get over India's massive problems, and this I did as my duty to my country." (SIC)

He also said he gets exhausted after writing long posts to share his knowledge, and summed in up in three points.

1) India has all the potential of becoming a first rate industrial power, with its people enjoying a high standard of living.

2) But to achieve this in reality will require tremendous sacrifices by our patriotic people.

3) Our national aim must to be to create a just social order, with all our people enjoying decent lives.

and ended this post saying, "now I intend to write fewer posts and only when they are required by the changing circumstances", hinting he is not leaving social media anytime soon.

Katju has been active on both Facebook and Twitter and regularly blogged, and he has lashed out at everything and everyone.

Yes, exaggerating, but he made us feel he did.

His January 25 Facebook post about the Republic Day, for instance, said, "Republic Day celebrations are only a joke".
