India's public broadcaster Doordarshan, also known as DD, is not only drawing flak from Twitter users but also becoming the butt of jokes on the micro-blogging website.
The broadcaster is being ridiculed for a news report that comprised interviews from women who looked "well-off" but nevertheless shared their experiences of how they benefited from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's COVID-19 relief for the poor during the lockdown.
"Er, does this women (I’m looking at her backdrop too) look like she was in dire need of Rs 500? There are people who are actually going hungry. In fact, they need much more than Rs 500," exclaimed a twitter user while sharing the video. While some called the video fabricated and called it Modi government propaganda.
