Netflix India takes a dig at Narendra Modi's PUBG reference with a Narcos: Mexico-inspired meme

During the second edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha  on 29 January, Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with parents as well as children. When a worried parent inquired how to deal with her son’s online addiction, he asked, “Ye PUBG wala hai kya?" (Is he a PubG gamer), eliciting laughter from the audience. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is an online multiplayer game, which has gained popularity in India and worldwide, since its release in 2017. In response to his speech, Netflix shared a _ Narcos: Mexico -_inspired meme featuring Tenoch Huerta’s character Rafael Caro Quintero. The first panel asks, “Ye PUBG wala hai kya”, and shows Huerta brandishing a gun. The second panel asks, “Ya sabzi wala?” (or a vegetable seller), with Huerta getting a good sniff of the drugs he had grown and harvested.
