Sen's tweet came hours after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Sambit Patra and Babul Supriyo have accused the "liberals" of selective outrage.
Replying to Patra, Supriyo, who is also a Union Minister, said, "Brother, these Liberals wil do nothing !! They won’t write a word but when one of them fail to find producers, they will run to delhi to lobby for NFDC funds shamelessly & how.. have already encountered 2 of them .. won’t name them cuz they do not deserve that either."
