The lead cartoon of the day by Manjul in Firstpost is a jibe at what the Attorney General said to the Supreme Court: that the Aadhaar data of the country’s citizens is safe behind walls that are 10 meters high and 4 meters wide. It shows a breezy Mark Zuckerberg telling law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad that even Facebook data was ‘secure’ behind high walls. Prasad had said Wednesday that the government could even summon Zuckerberg to India if its data was used to influence elections.
Sandeep Adhwaryu in Times of India and Hemant Morparia poke fun at BJP’s allegation that the Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government was playing ‘divide and rule’ politics with its proposal to give Lingayats minority status. Both suggest that Indian politicians, from all parties, have been using divisive politics for too long to complain about it.
Abhishek, a journalist from Rajasthan, has drawn a cartoon for World Water Day. His cartoon depicts the bleak situation around the world where all the water is drying up, and no amount of pebbles thrown in will bring it back up.
Arun Kumar, sent in his cartoon to ThePrint, which is titled ‘Udderly Fodderly Lalu’ and shows a befuddled ex-CM of Bihar after he was convicted in the fourth fodder scam case.
