Remember when a man caught a locust and ‘interrogated’ it to unravel their ‘conspiracy’ of destroying crops across several states in India? The video went viral for finding a bit of humour in an otherwise scary situation.
Yesterday, Odisha IPS officer Arun Bothra shared a clip where a journalist was seen interviewing a donkey sitting by the side of a road. What seemed absurdity at first quickly turned into a satire aimed at people who were roaming without face masks during the lockdown.
Best media interview of the Lockdown period 😎 pic.twitter.com/qbHGflcoBx

In the video, the journalist can be seen questioning a man without a mask as to why the donkey isn’t responding and coming to the conclusion that if a person doesn’t follow safety guidelines, then he is the same i.e. a gadha.
People loved his indirect approach while highlighting the importance of covering one’s nose and mouth amidst a pandemic. Take a look.
He made his point without annoying anyone.

Deep meaning shared by him
"Gadha Lockdown mein bhr gumta hai or mask bhi nhi lgata"
And irony is that guy didn't get this— Avisha Godara (@avishagodara) July 22, 2020
Real message is in the very last line "Gadha lockdown me bahar ghoomta hai, aur mask bhi nahi lagata hai".. the guy being interviewed didn't get the sarcasm 😅😅
