The selected cartoons appeared first in other publications, either in print or online, or on social media, and are credited appropriately.
In today’s featured cartoon, Satish Acharya pokes fun at PM Narendra Modi’s Twitter handle being “briefly compromised” Sunday morning, by alluding to his ‘chowkidaar‘ slogan from the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Sajith Kumar also refers to the brief hack of the PM’s handle, and shows a policeman trying to get a hacker to confess that he was the one who promised ‘achhe din‘ (good days) in 2014, not Modi himself.
R. Prasad, meanwhile, has this take on Modi’s Twitter handle being hacked. He shows two of the PM’s ‘bhakts’ expressing their disappointment that their likes and retweets and proclamations of ‘masterstroke’ were in vain because the account turned out to be ‘compromised’.
Sandeep Adhwaryu illustrates on the Twitter bullying faced by Aashna Lidder, daughter of the late Brig. L.S. Lidder, which forced her to deactivate her Twitter account. Aashna was trolled for being “woke” and “opinionated”, but the cartoonist shows the Army itself standing up to China’s bullying in the Himalayas.
E.P. Unny takes a potshot at opposition parties by referring to the farmers returning home from Delhi’s borders after suspending their year-long agitation against the three farm laws.
