Dimapur, July 13 (EMN): Nagaland’s minister of Higher Education and Tribal Affairs, Temjen Imna Along might not have expected his recent tweet about his “wife” to garner so much traction but netizens jumped on the wagon wheel as the conversation under the post became interesting after Anupam Mittal, founder of Indian online wedding service provider Shaadi.com, offered help.
It all started when Imna Along, who is also the president of BJP Nagaland, shared a screenshot of a Google search result that showed people searching for wife using the keyword “temjen imna along wife”, with a caption: “Ayalee, Google search excites me. I am still looking for her.”
This witty post grabbed the attention of Shaadi.com founder, who commented: “kuch karna padega (something needs to be done about it) @ShaadiDotCom”, to which Imna Along replied: “Bhai filhal hum bindas hai (for now I am fine), waiting for Salman Bhai”.
Mittal then commented: “@AlongImna Could be a very long wait for @BeingSalmanKhan. lekin aapka @ShaadiDotCom aur mujhe intezar rahega.”
Even as internet users were not done with the humorous tweet, the minister shared another related post a day later, on the occasion of the World Population Day.
“On the occasion of #WorldPopulationDay, let us be sensible towards the issues of population growth and inculcate informed choices on child bearing. Or #StaySingle like me and together we can contribute towards a sustainable future. Come join the singles movement today,” tweeted the 41-year-old bachelor.
To this, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju commented, “The Education Minister of Nagaland @AlongImna is actually not against marriage but he only intends to increase the numbers of his group”.
“Yes @KirenRijijuJi. I wouldn't mind if people join my group willingly,” Along replied.
