#UninstallWhatsApp trends, Change.org petition to delete app from Amitabh Bachchan and Anand Mahindra's phones

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s parody account on Twitter by the username ‘RoflGandhi_’ has started with a bizarre petition on Change,org with a view to uninstall WhatsApp from the phones of Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan and Indian billionaire businessman Anand Mahindra.

The petition states, “A megastar and a renowned industrialist are falling prey to fake news & bizarre content being fed to them via Whatsapp. We need to restore the dignity of two gentlemen. Through this petition we are requesting Mark Zuckerberg to disable Whatsapp on their numbers.”

Check out the post:

For those unaware, the petition comes after a series of fake news, misinformation and insensitive forwards shared by the two senior most personalities. On Sunday, Anand faced backlash after an ‘insensitive’ tweet about masks amit the coronavirus lockdown.

The tweet, which was later deleted by Mahindra, read: “Don’t know who took this and the location but i hope this photo becomes one of the most iconic images and memories of the pandemic. It’s not just about #MaskIndia but also about a greener world. A reminder that nature already provides us with all that we need.”

However, Comedian Aditi Mittal pointed out that wearing masks made out of leaves is not something which should be celebrated. He accepted his mistake and deleted the tweet later.

Earlier Amitabh Bachchan also faced flak on the micro blogging platform for quoting misinformation that sound vibrations and clapping can ward of coronavirus.
