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.

Here are some of the tweets from the campaign.

Lucknow (PTI): The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday ordered a probe by the special task force (STF) into alleged irregularities in the rejoining of a teacher at City Intermediate College in Barabanki, observing that the reinstatement appeared to be prima facie illegal.

The court also directed the recovery of the salary paid to the teacher during the disputed period.

A bench of Justice Rajeev Singh passed the order on a petition filed by the college management committee. The court expressed doubts over the roles of the District Inspector of Schools (DIOS), Barabanki, the college principal and the teacher concerned and hence, directed a detailed inquiry into the matter.

Taking note of alleged manipulation of records and misleading submissions, the court ordered the immediate transfer of the Barabanki DIOS to ensure a fair probe. It also directed the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against the then joint director of education of the Ayodhya division.

In its order, the court found that the teacher, Abhay Kumar, was initially appointed as an assistant teacher in 2018 but joined an Eklavya Model Residential School in Chhattisgarh as a lecturer in June 2024 without obtaining permission from the management. His subsequent request to retain the lien was rejected.

Despite this, he was allowed to rejoin the Barabanki College in September 2025 on the directions of the joint director of education and the DIOS, and was even paid the salary for October 2025. The court termed the rejoining "wholly illegal" and lacking any legal basis.

The bench also expressed concern over lapses in communication within the education department and directed the Uttar Pradesh chief secretary to ensure that official orders are communicated through email and WhatsApp as well, to prevent disputes.

The matter is next listed for hearing on May 28 when a compliance report is sought.
