Doordarshan’s official twitter account for DDNews, accidentally merged two news together, having a picture of “BJP Parliamentary Board meeting” with “Santa Claus feeding monkeys in China”.
This post of Doordarshan went viral over twitter on Wednesday, but Doordarshan withdrew the tweet describing it as an error. And the junior content executive responsible for this mistake was pushed out from his Social Media responsibilities, according to DDNews.
DD News tweeted “Jingle all the way!! … A man dressed as Santa Claus feeds monkeys ahead of Christmas at a zoo in China” for a picture of the BJP parliamentary board showing Prime Minister of India and other political ministers.
Later on, DDNews took down the tweet and apologized for the accident.
An unrelated picture was inadvertently placed by side of the China zoo story. We have removed the tweet
