'We have always believed that humour is the best way to handle such developments'
Comic relief: Khamba (first from left) with his AIB teammates
Mumbai: BJP leader Giriraj Singh had kicked up a storm on Friday when he had declared that “those opposing Modi should move to Pakistan”, and that there was “no place for them in India”.
It upset hundreds and even left the BJP fuming. But that didn’t stop the Twitterati from taking up the issue and on Saturday night, there was this fantastic exchange between comedy group AIB and travel website, Makemytrip.
With his characteristic sense of humour, Gursimran Khamba, posted on Twitter asking Make My Trip if they were “offering infidel packages to Pakistan for criticising Modi?”. A real surprise landed when the brand decided to tweet back! MakeMyTrip.com posted, “@gkhamba Already overbooked! Business has been good today :-D Though we may start some charters given the sudden rise in demand.” And this was enough to setting Twitter on fire!
“I’m suprised that it has become so big. Although, I maintain that it doesn’t warrant much discussion. Also, as a group we have always believed that humour is probably the best to handle such developments.”
The twitteratti, however, have disagreed about the “no point in discussing this” bit. From praises on brand marketing to being applauded for their bravery in this “politically-volatile” country... the tweets numbered in the hundreds. Mr Social Media manager at Makemytrip can sure expect a promotion.
