And The Roast Chain Goes On : Modi By AIB And AIB By Twitter Users.
All India Bakchod, the comedy troupe is famous for making fun and trolls on people. They never leave a chance to make us laugh be it Bollywood celeb or Hollywood star, but this time Prime Minister of our country Narendra Modi was the victim of the meme.
They made fun of him by slapping the Snapchat dog filter on the photograph of Narendra Modi along with a man resembling PM who was spotted waiting for a train at a railway station recently and captioned it #Wanderlust before sharing it on social media. The photo went viral on social media in no time.
However, not all Twitter users were impressed, and the AIB came under fire from Modi supporters for “insulting” the prime minister and hurting “nationalist” sentiments.
Tanmay Bhat & Rohan Joshi are ppl who will put dog filter on PM Modi's pic at night and wake up shouting no freedom of expression in India.

Within hours, the group deleted the post fearing more backlash. However, the saga did not end there.
Soon enough, Congress supporters started trolling the AIB – this time for being “scared” of the BJP and deleting the tweet.
(Today's AIB saga TL;DR)
AIB: Ye lo. Joke on Modi.
BJP: WTF! REPORT! PUNISH!
AIB: OK. Taking it down.
Cong: WTF! REPORT! PUNISH!

Now AIB should just stick to making anti-Congress sketches which they did with much pride during our regime, ab woh FOE yaad nahi!

This did not go down well with AIB co-founders Tanmay Bhat and Rohan Joshi who hit back at the trolls in equal measure.
Congress leaders and BJP trolls both getting mad over a goddamn silly snapchat filter meme smh
