Mohammad Kaif hails triple talaq verdict, gets trolled
What's the story
Several celebrities, especially cricketers, have had to face abuses by trolls online for relatively 'normal' things, like when Mohammad Shami celebrated his daughter's birthday, or when Mohammad Kaif played chess with his son.
Kaif is under attack again. This time, for hailing the SC's triple talaq verdict.
Trolls asked him who he was trying to impress, and whether he knew anything about the practice.

Gender justice is much needed, says Kaif's tweet
Welcome decision by Supreme Court to declare #TripleTalaq unconstitutional. Will give Muslim women security. Gender justice is much needed

Trolls
Comments from trolls ranged from insults to sarcastic questions
"Sir who're you trying to please?" asked @SaM_Saifi_100. @sjamalmazhari advised him to not talk about things he doesn't have knowledge of.
@HamzaSaqmd had another query: "SC says #TripleTalaq is against Quran so how about saying Vande Mataram that is also against basic Quran of There is no God but Allah."
Meanwhile, @bhat_xahoor said, "Women are most secure in islaam....being Muslim you should know it."
Do you know?
Meanwhile, Kaif follows it up with another socially-conscious tweet
Kaif didn't respond at all. Instead, his next tweet was on the Kaifiyat Express derailment this morning. "2 train derailments within a week. There has to be an accountability. "Chalta hai" attitude disappointing.Innocent lives lost #KaifiyatExpress (sic)"
