On Friday, at least 31 people were killed and more than 250 were injured in violence in Panchkula and Sirsa after a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court convicted a self-styled godman, Ram Rahim Singh in connection with his alleged involvement in a 2002 rape case.
Prime Minister, Narendra Modi tweeted that the violence in BJP-ruled Haryana was “deeply distressing” and appealed for peace, suggesting that the “law & order situation” under the Manohar Lal Khattar-led administration was also being “monitored”.
Joining the league, Yoga guru, Baba Ramdev has also tweeted about Ram Rahim. However, he did not name Ram Rahim anywhere in his tweet. Ramdev writes, “Religion is the best practice of life. Violence, insanity, madness, superstition and hypocrisy is not religion.”
धर्म जीवन का श्रेष्ठ आचरण है। हिंसा, उन्माद , पागलपन, अंधश्रद्धा व पाखण्ड धर्म नहीं है

Minutes after writing on microblogging site, Twitterati started trolling him and some even said that next is Ramdev’s turn to go to the jail.
Here are the some of the twitter reactions:
जेल जाने का अगला नंबर तुम्हारा ही हैं आदरणीय रामदेव जू

बाबाओ ने अपनी मानसिकता बना रखी है कि वो चाहे बलात्कार क्यो न कर दे उनके समर्थक उन्हें बचा लेंगे लेकिन इस देश की न्यायपालिका अब जाग चुकी है।

जिन बाबाओं के साथ राम जुड़ा था, आसाराम, रामपाल, राम रहीम सब जेल मे हैं, आप बचकर रहिए

अभी तक देश में किसी बड़े नेता ने राम रहीम पर आये फैसले की सराहना नहीं की — समझ रहे हैं न — ये रिश्ता क्या कहलाता है ?
