New Delhi: An old video of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi went viral on micro-blogging site Twitter on Saturday after the Delhi High Court referred to the second wave of COVID-19 as ‘Tsunami’.

In the video that is purportedly dated March 17, 2020, the former Congress chief can be seen saying that he has been warning the government about the ‘Tsunami’ of COVID-19 that was coming and how people will face the worst crisis in months to come.

“I have been warning the government a massive Tsunami is coming. I am saying again and again. Nobody is listening to me. I am sorry to say our people are going to go through unimaginable pain in the next six months” Rahul can be seen saying on the video.

On Saturday, Delhi High Court while hearing a case on surging case of COVID, observed “We’re calling it wave, it’s actually tsunami.

Twitter users then reminded the government about the warning Rahul Gandhi had given at least a year ago and added that it failed the country by being unprepared for the situation that was looming on the country.

It also slammed the Right-Wing social media users who mocked Rahul Gandhi for his comments.

Soon, ‘Tsunami’ was one of the top trending words on Twitter India.
