'Counting fingers, not hearts': Shehzad Poonawalla mocks Rahul's Gen Z post

Former BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla mocked Rahul Gandhi's post for Gen Z on Friendship Day, claiming the Korean finger heart emoji used in the message was "counting fingers". Poonawalla, a former Congress spokesperson who resigned from the BJP, accused the Gandhi family and the Congress party of corruption. In a video on X, Poonawalla demonstrated the gesture, saying "Counting corruption every day.

Taking corruption bribes every day. The Gandhi family has more than an apprenticeship in this — they have a PhD. Ask the Karnataka government... 'counting fingers'." Earlier, Rahul Gandhi posted a photo on Instagram, using the gesture and writing "Still a student, still learning something new every day. Today's lesson: it's Friendship Day and this 🫰 is a heart. Happy Friendship Day, everyone. Lots of love!"
