Tv21news.Hyderabad: Twitterati seethes with anger over tweet from a Hyderabad-based group,

 who was looking for donors belonging to a specific dominant caste. It prompted a debate on caste-based

 discrimination, a social evil that refuses to vanish.


The Twitter handle of @bloodplusapp, belongs to a group of blood donors. On Thursday, they tweeted

 that a child was in need of blood belonging to "Kamma caste donors". Kamma is a powerful and

 upper caste in Andhra Pradesh and Telanagana.

A number was provided along with the tweet to contact the parents of the child admitted to

 Max Cure hospital in Hyderabad.

Most of the social media users denounced the demand. The group was quick to delete the tweet and

 even issued an apology tweet, saying that it received the tweet from an unknown person and put it up 

without verifying it.report by mohd Sameer tv21news
