While the Indians mourn the death of former president Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, there are a few who have been expressing their anger towards Jharkhand's Education Minister Neera Yadav, who recently paid homage to Kalam, well in advance.

This can be a coincidence, but furious Twitterati now call Yadav a "futurist".

Yadav became the butt of all jokes on social media after she paid floral tributes to Kalam, who was then alive, during a function at a school in Jharkhand's Koderma district.

Fake Image of APJ Abdul Kalam's Last Moment Goes Viral

According to Hindu tradition, garlanding a person's photo is to mark respect for dead people.

The photos of the minister garlanding the former president's photo had gone viral on social media and Yadav was attacked by Twitterati for her colossal ignorance.

However, in response to the blooper, the minister then reportedly claimed there is nothing wrong in garlanding photographs of great leaders, as it is a way of paying respect to them.

Now, social media users are considering the Jharkhand minister's "stupid" act as a bad omen and have been attacking her on micro-blogging site Twitter after Kalam was declared dead on Monday evening.

Celebrities Pay Homage

In hindsight, I realised Neera Yadav knew exactly what she was doing when she garlanded late Dr. Abdul Kalam's photo.
