Freedom fighter and India's first education minister, Abul Kalam Muhiyuddin Ahmed Azad, was born on November 11, 1888. On his 130th birth anniversary, Indian cricketer Suresh Raina took Twitter to wish but ended up making a huge mistake.
He misspelled his name and wrote 'Abdul' instead of 'Abul' in his Tweet. It was quickly spotted by Twitteratis. While some tried to correct him, some lashed out at the Uttar Pradesh batsman for his tweet.
"Education can change the world! Remembering India's First education minister, freedom fighter and educationist #MaulanaAbdulKalamAzad on this #NationalEducationDay!," he wrote.

Azad became the youngest person to serve as the President of the Indian National Congress at the age of 35 in 1923. During this period, Azad became an enthusiastic supporter of Gandhi's ideas of non-violent civil disobedience and worked to organize the non-cooperation movement in protest of the 1919 Rowlatt Acts.
Here is how Twitterati reacted:
