After claiming that the large crowds that attended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speeches abroad were likely flown from India, former Union Minister and Congress leader Salman Khurshid has now alleged that even the Koala that the PM briefly cuddled at the G-20 summit, was specially transported from India.
“It is easy to catch a koala from one of the Indian forest reserves, transport it to Australia and get it to cuddle him in front of the camera,” scoffed Khurshid. “If you don’t believe me, check its flight ticket for Gods sake.”
When we pointed out that koalas are endemic to Australia, and that it is unlikely the PM would have found one in India, the former external affairs minister called this correspondent a guttersnipe and got his guards to throw him out of his bungalow.
Former Bihar CM, Nitish Kumar, too took the opportunity to slam PM Modi over unfulfilled promises. “What happened to all that pre-election bluster about bringing back black money? Modi couldn’t bring even a koala back to India. All he was allowed to do is tickle it under its ear while someone else holds it!” Nitish said.
Meanwhile, AAP convenor, Arvind Kejriwal has already written the following letter to the World-wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and a host of other international organizations working for preservation of endangered species.
To
The Chairperson
WWF
Dear Sir/Madam,
That the koalas are an endangered species is well known. A photograph of BJP’s Narendra Modi corrupting a Koala’s delicate constitution is doing the rounds. The photo is attached herewith. Please notice the terror-struck expression on the Koala’s face, and the villainous delight on Modi’s face. We request you to investigate.
Yours sincerely,
Arvind Kejriwal.
