APJ Abdul Kalam is dead, thinks Jharkhand minister

Jharkhand minister Neera Yadav became a butt of all jokes on the social media after her photo that went viral showed her garlanding the photo of former president APJ Abdul Kalam who is still alive.

According to reports, the minister recently attended a school function in Koderma in Ranchi. She was seen paying tribute to Kalam's picture.

Soon after the picture was published in paper, it created a buzz on the social media. Twitterites flayed her ignorance.

As per tradition, garlanding a person's photo will be done after the person is dead.
