Ajit Pai is the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the US has
formally released a draft of its plan to kill net-neutrality rules - a decision that has met with a huge backlash. The end of net-neutrality rules moves to give broadband service providers sweeping power over what content consumers can access - and this, in turn, has led to many criticizing FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, a Republican appointed by President Donald Trump. Thousands have signed a petition asking for Mr Pai, an Indian American, to resign.
However, comedian Hari Kondabolu has a different solution - one that will make any desi person tremble - talking to Ajit Pai's parents.
In a tweet that has been 'liked' over 1,700 times, Mr Kondabolu appeals for anybody who knows Mr Pai's parents to talk to them about net-neutrality.
While nobody (as yet) has come forward to volunteer, the tweet has garnered much approval and plenty of hilarious responses.
A lot of good-natured ribbing of desi parents ensued
Many desis on Twitter are now trolling Ajit Pai
