A day before voting in the 2020 United States presidential election, Pramila Jayapal, the first Indian-American woman to serve in the US House of Representatives, got the real taste of “paneer tikka” after being roasted by desi social media users.

Pramila Jayapal’s tweet where she shared a picture of “paneer tikka” in honour of Vice-President nominee Kamala Harris has not gone down well with the desi Twitter users.

Jayapal wrote: “Compulsive, night-before-election activity: make comfort food. That’s paneer tikka tonight, in honour of electing #KamalaHarris Veep tomorrow since she just said on Instagram that her favourite North Indian food is any kind of tikka! Let’s go, people! VOTE! #BidenHarris2020”

Though the famous north-Indian dish has nothing to do with the US election, but it found a spot on the trends list after the senator’s version of the dish was not much liked by the users.

Below are some reactions.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
