Temjen Imna Along, Nagaland minister for Higher Education & Tribal Affairs, has made social media his own with an immaculate sense of humor, which is uncommon among politicians in the state. Previously, he had taken the internet by storm with a viral video in which he extolled the “virtues of having small eyes.” He has once again captured the attention of netizens with his thoughtful-yet-hilarious perspective on World Population Day.
The minister has urged the Twitterati to join his ‘singles movement,’ encouraging the young to #StaySingle like him. He tweeted, “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,” the minister added.
Twitter followers adored his take on ‘population growth,’ which emphasized the need of making educated decisions about childbearing. The minister’s insightful words on the occasion were applauded by users.
According to one user, “Finally Singles got support from a politician.”
Imna Along had previously won over Twitter with his funny response about Google’s worry over his wife on Sunday. He posted a screenshot of the “most frequently asked questions” about him on Google.
One of the many Google searches regarding the minister that he highlighted was “Temjen Imna Along wife.” Temjen Imna responded by tagging Google and writing, ” Ayalee @Google search excites me, I’m still looking for her!”
