Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the Facebook headquarters has sparked anger and protests in India.

A group of activists working under the name of Alliance for Justice and Accountability have created a website against the Indian prime minister who was allegedly involved in Gujrat riots in 2002 that killed around 1,000 people, mostly Muslims.

The website, titled “Zuck, wash your hands!” calls on Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg to clean his hands after meeting the man who ‘committed genocide’.

It doesn’t end there. The adamant activists have been sending Zuckerberg sanitisers to “help remove bloodstains left behind from shaking hands with Narendra Modi”.

According to the website, hundreds of sanitisers have already been sent to the Facebook CEO.

Each of the sanitisers have a name of a Gujrat genocide victim written on it.

The website also allows anyone who wants to send a sanitiser in his name to Zuckerberg.

Mark, we have 250+ bottles of hand sanitizer waiting for you at @Facebook HQ. Good luck! http://t.co/KhFiGyAnlv https://t.co/t10ydZA0cM

It will lead to the break up of the country... unfortunately, an average Indian is not comprehending the consequences of Modi's direction... Gandhi and his teachings? They are fading fast..

Ibrar | 9 years ago | Reply @Kkki: I guess 'startups' are processes encouraged to move a country like India which has only thus far showcased copied or stolen technology but have actually not started to move in any direction yet. What you think? Are you looking for a start up?

Atami Kuwat | 9 years ago | Reply Dear Pakistanis if Modi is responsible for Gujarat then similarly Jinnah committed genocide due to his order of Direct Action Day.

Ibrar | 9 years ago | Reply @Nav: It is true modi has attracted passionate support from Facebook CEO ....his tears had great effect on Mark. Indian flag on Facebook may be a short term gesture in response to Modi's visit particularly as Facebook is banned in China.

Muhammad | 9 years ago | Reply @Alien1: Who was Bose? Honestly? Are you kidding?

Bob mack | 9 years ago | Reply @Brutus: That popularity is reflection of true mindset and values that Modi reflects.....the common passion for treating minorities with disgust, an attempt to rise from under hundreds of years of slavery.

Bob mack | 9 years ago | Reply @Saiyan: What jealousy ? Jealousy about his murderous past? Yes on one account there could be a genuine cause to be jealous and that his jugglery with which he is infusing pseudo euphoria for Indians!!!

Nav | 9 years ago | Reply Go to the AsiaPacific Blog of the Google to see what all things Modi has achieved last week with Google.. It describes just 1 agreement... There are total 7 agreements signed and announcement with the Tech giants of the Silicon Valley...by Modi in 1 day... These are stepping stones something bigger tomorrow. Modi is focussing on improving all 3 sectors of the economy - Manufacturing, Services and Agriculture. Services and the related job creation require high speed internet across the country.

Darvesh | 9 years ago | Reply @Brutus: " Prime Minister Modi received a whopping 87% approval ratings in India..." And..is it a matter of pride or great shame?. For us graph of India as nation gone down the bottom.

Nav | 9 years ago | Reply Another article in this magazine says something else. Mark Zuckerberg changed his facebook profile picture with Indian Tri-color to support Modi and his Digital India initiative. I just checked now.. Still Mark Zuckerberg official profile picture has Indian flag on it.

Nav | 9 years ago | Reply But in India almost everyone likes Modi.. American agency did a Pew survey last month and it got astonishing results for a 1.5 year completed PM. Modi has favourability rating of 87%, more than he got during the his election.

nasir | 9 years ago | Reply Modi is an illiterate person who committed genocide of all minorities. That is the reason he was denied USA visa for 10 years. It is very un-American to invite such criminal to USA. So many Indians love him because he is a war-monger and talks about wiping minorities. Shame on all of them.

prophet | 9 years ago | Reply heard that pappu was in USA

Five | 9 years ago | Reply Long live modi ji

Brutus | 9 years ago | Reply According to a recent survey Prime Minister Modi received a whopping 87% approval ratings in India. No other world leader can boast of such a massive popularity. A few hundred attention seeking Commi-Loosers can't make any difference. India stands like a rock behind Modi.

Usman | 9 years ago | Reply Nice one

Zeeshan | 9 years ago | Reply Its such an irony that a person who committed genocide is the now the prime minister of India. What a third class country it is.

Saiyan | 9 years ago | Reply Hilarious. seems like "some people" are jealous of the reception he has been getting!
