Vir Das' Facebook Post Perfectly Sums Up The Disaster That 2016 Has Been

IANS, 15 Dec, 2016 11:31 AM
  • Vir Das' Facebook Post Perfectly Sums Up The Disaster That 2016 Has Been
Comedian Vir Das has summed up the year for us and thousands of people seem to agree with him because his post has gone viral with over 3,000 shares and 10,000 likes, at the time of writing. Here’s what he shared in a picture that read. 
 
“So what you’re saying is…. Homosexuality is still illegal. We have banned surrogacy. Pollution is at its worst. We are arresting people in movie theatres.
 
Normal people are standing in lines unable to reach their own money. Rich people have ample access to money. We are beating up painters, slashing films, threatening artists. But on the bright side…. Laddoos?”
 

The comedian clearly took a dig at the laddoos that Bharatiya Janata Party’s Delhi unit has directed its officials to give to families in order to “thank them for their patience”. 
 
The party has specifically asked the party workers to give one laddoo per family. He also mocked the recent SC ruling which made playing of National Anthem in movie halls across the country mandatory, following which it has been reported that 12 people have been arrested in Southern states for not standing while it was played.
