Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ordered government officials to prioritize measures to cut unemployment in the country, after hashtags related to Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan continuously dominated Twitter’s trending topics.
“Initially, when the PM logged on to Twitter and saw these trends, he was quite nonchalant,” an official from the Finance Ministry disclosed, “thinking people are just taking some time off to chillax and have some fun on Twitter, but when he saw these trends remaining unflinchingly at the top and not showing any signs of deprecating even after weeks, he understood that this is a very serious crisis. He told us that if this isn’t a stark indicator of unemployment in this country, nothing else is. So he has asked us to put all other projects on hold and focus on generating real jobs and cutting down this gargantuan unemployment plague that we’re currently witnessing.”
“We also told him about AAP supporters constantly springing up hashtags glorifying Kejriwal and berating the BJP, but he told us that AAP supporters, even if unemployed, are too self-righteous to stop spending their time on such activities and nothing can be done about that,” the official added. “Our minister Jaitleyji tried to convince Modiji, saying that he had already allocated 100 crore towards curbing unemployment, but Modiji would just not listen,” the official added.
SRK and Salman trolls, however, are not amused. “This is rubbish! This is just a conspiracy by the government to try and bring down the fans of Bhai and King Khan. By giving us real jobs and a purpose in life, these people will spell doom for us. We will strongly protest against the government for trying to drive us away from joblessness. In fact, in the mother of all Twitter protests, we as well as Asaram Bapu supporters are gonna join forces to create a #YoModiSoConcernedAboutUnemployment hashtag. We plan to keep the trend firmly afloat for at least a week,” a Sallu troll told The UnReal Times.
