Seems like Immi Bhai has got angry on Doraemon for not giving him the gadget that could turn him into Prime Minister of the country.

Some (like us) were completely clueless
Why is #PTI so anti-kids? What have they ever done to them? Why is #Doraemon even an issue?!

Because we are coming to entertain you people. Ban all other shows.#DharnaSeason #PTIvsDoraemon
