The trolls catch an immediate attention, when some popular public figures post them on the social media. Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor, who recently posted one such post is now going viral all over.
As a counter to the severe air pollution in Delhi, Shashi posted a picture in which Qutub Minar’s picture was spotted in a pack of cigarettes. He also quoted the picture, with some Hindi lines that reads, “How long will you live on cigarettes, bidis, and cigars. Just come and spend a few days in Delhi-NCR region: Delhi Tourism.”
