Reaction to the simplistic explanation given by UP's government to riots in the state. Satire.
New Delhi: Following the Uttar Pradesh government’s initiative in blaming Facebook for riots in the state, the Central government has also decided to go ahead and blame the social networking site for all past, present and future riots.
Issuing a statement to the press, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, spokesperson for the Congress said, “It is amply clear that there are far too many Narendra Modi fan pages on Facebook- so it has to be communal. Soniaji or Rahul baba, on the other hand, do not even have a Facebook account. Therefore, we hereby declare Facebook non secular and communal and propose to cancel its Aadhar Card.”
When pointed out that Facebook might not really have an Aadhar Card, Mr. Singhvi replied quickly, “Do not worry… We will issue a letter to the founder of Facebook to come to India, attend an Aadhar Card camp, get his fingerprints, eye scan, etc. taken- so that we may first issue the card. As soon as the card is issued we will cancel it.”
When a reporter raised the point that even people from Congress like Mr. Digvijay Singh were on social media platforms, Mr. Singhvi replied by saying, “Aha! But no one takes Digvijay Singh seriously. If he ever tried to initiate riot with a tweet or a Facebook post, most people would just laugh it off as just another dim-witted comment from him.”
