A political leader from Uttar Pradesh is in the news for crying heartfully at a statue of Mahatma Gandhi. This guy wants the world to believe that he is extremely sad that Gandhi is dead, orphaning India. Gandhi passed away in 1948 but going by this politician's awesome Oscar-level performance, you can be forgiven for believing that he died just a few days back.

"They are local politicians from Samajwadi Party; the lead actor is some Firoze Khan, district president in Sambhal, UP," says Rahul Roushan, sarcastically describing the politician as an actor.

Khan has been trolled for faking it. "He is sad that SP lost badly in the recent Lok Sabha elections. The person behind him is actually trying to control his laughter," a Twitter user says.
