Madhu Raju Faces Backlash On Social Media

Netizens are very upset with Madhu Raju's video of dancing at the World War II Memorial. A netizen tweeted, "This is the World War II Memorial in #WashingtonDC Some places deserve respect, not the IT department making socially awkward TikTok dances. They ALL have to go back. @CyberGreen09 (sic)."

Another X user wrote, "Your ancestors died so Indians could dance on the WW2 memorial (sic)."

One more netizen tweeted, "This is extremely disrespectful to all Americans and their families who served in the armed forces and as civilians during World War II (sic)."

According to an X account, Madhu is working at Palo Alto Networks as Cloud Network Security Engineer. The account has asked the organisation to fire Madhu and instead hire an American.

The tweet read, "If you fire this employee and issue a statement, it will help repair most of the damage. If you want to turn this into a positive public relations opportunity, hire an American for this role. There have been thousands of layoffs in the technology sector, leaving many unemployed (sic)."

Till now, neither Madhu nor Manisha has shared any statement regarding the controversy.
