#CloseDownDNA: Angry Salman fans bash newspaper on Twitter for writing 'anti-bhai' article

Whoever said that 'hell hath no fury as a woman's scorn' was clearly never attacked by Salman Khan's fans on social media. Since Friday, the wrath of Salman Khan's fans has been directed towards the newspaper DNA and the blows that the fans are doling out on Twitter are as mean (and ridiculous) as the punches that Khan packs onscreen. [caption id="attachment_2001369" align="alignleft" width="380" class=" "] Courtesy: Facebook[/caption]If you are wondering what DNA did to suddenly irk Bhai's fans, here is the full story. After the Peshawar school attack, in which 141 people (mostly children) were gunned down by terrorists, Salman Khan took to Twitter to condemn the attack, like many other B-town celebrities.  The actor wrote (and for once his tweets were legible) that taking innocent people's life is like killing all of humanity and complained that jihad is today a "misused" word.Read Khan's tweets here:             While thousands retweeted the actor's tweets, DNA listed the court cases against him as well as the scandals that Khan has been involved in, adding that it was ironic that Khan was reacting so sharply to the killing of innocents.While it doesn't take DNA to tell the public that Khan is involved in two court cases —  a hit-and-run case where he allegedly killed one person and injured three, and a poaching case in which he is accused of killing two blackbucks and several chinkaras — the fact that DNA pointed these out when Khan was trying to talk about world peace didn't go down well with fans. A barrage of angry tweets surfaced on Twitter and soon enough #CloseDownDNA was a trending hashtag:              While there is no denying the fact that Khan has had his fair share of scandals and controversies, the actor is still one of India’s most adored superstars. The anger against DNA on social media shows that Khan really can do no wrong  in the eyes of his fans and the delusions of grandeur that social media has created in many. The DNA website remains online, as does the article on Khan. Of course, what any of this has to do with killing of school children and others in Peshawar is a separate matter entirely.
