Tiwari said, "On December 19, I posted that Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's comparison of Jamia Millia incident with Jallianwala Bagh was wrong. After that 25-30 people thrashed me and tonsured my head." 

Aaditya Thackeray, on learning about the incident, had appealed for calm and had said, "I have learnt of an untoward, angry reaction to a nasty, low life troll, who has used uncivil language towards the CM's efforts to maintain religious harmony and remove fear from Maharashtra about CAA. Law and order is a subject of the police and shouldn't be taken into anyone's hands.”

Uddhav Thackeray’s Jallianwala Bagh comparison 

In a shocking remark, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray equated the violence in the Jamia Millia Islamia University with the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in which the British opened fire killing hundreds of unarmed people. He claimed that there was an attempt to instil an atmosphere of fear in the minds of the youth. Contending that the country could not be stable if the young people were provoked, he requested the Centre not to do so. Moreover, he described the youth as a ‘bomb’ which could explode anytime.
