The News Minute | December 19, 2014 | 03:08 pm IST A parody account of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Facebook is creating quite the confusion on social media, with his followers apparently taking the parody account for real. In fact, a seemingly irked Swamy on Sunday tweeted threatening Facebook with legal notice if they did not take down the parody account.

But youngsters in US in my name are publicising my activities.

Whether it has been intentionally deleted by its operators, or whether Facebook pulled it down, is not clear. However, according to speculations doing the rounds, it seems that Facebook may have deleted the Dr Subramanian Swamy Facebook page instead of the parody.
