ANITA JOSHUAThe blast-hit Bombay Bhel restaurant in Ontario on FridayNew Delhi: Social media, one of the factors credited with helping Narendra Modi achieve critical mass in 2014, is turning out to be a ruthless blade that cuts both ways. External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, displaying her usual digital alertness, tweeted about a blast in a restaurant named Bombay Bhel in Ontario in Canada on Friday. "There is a blast in Indian restaurant Bombay Bhel in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I am in constant touch with our consul-general in Toronto and (the) Indian high commissioner in Canada," Sushma tweeted on Friday morning. Some Twitter users instantly called out her silence on the Tuticorin police firing that killed 13 people this week.
