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.

Who is responsible ? @narendramodi@drharshvardhan https://t.co/FoJvdbA2oq
Rahul Gandhi had said the same thing exactly an year ago. But entire Modi government and RW system made fun of him. Today, Delhi HC used the same phrase - Tsunami.

I hope, at least now we will realise Modi government's incompetence. https://t.co/jDCSTUKtFm
Rahul Gandhi said Tsunami will come and the Govt is not prepared.

Amritsar (PTI): Former president Ram Nath Kovind on Friday said that with digital transformation, economic reforms and a strong focus on the ease of doing business, India is moving towards becoming a global economic powerhouse.
He was speaking after inaugurating the 19th edition of the Punjab International Trade Expo (PITEX) in Amritsar.
The former president said that this 19th edition of PITEX is being organised at a time when India is recognised as one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the event organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) the former president, while referring to Punjab, said the state is a living example of courage, sacrifice and enterprise.
"The spiritual light of Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) inspires peace and humanity across the world. The heritage of Punjab is deep and inspiring," Kovind said, according to a statement issued by the PITEX.
The former president congratulated the PHDCCI for hosting the 19th edition of PITEX and suggested that the chamber should expand PITEX outside Punjab.
He proposed that a similar event should also be held in New Delhi.
