'People in Assam cannot read your message'; Congress hits back at Modi

NEW DELHI: Soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a message assuring the people of Assam that their rights will not be taken away, Congress came up mocking the Prime Minister.

Retweeting Modi's tweet, the Congress said, "Our brothers & sisters in Assam cannot read your 'reassuring' message Modiji, in case you've forgotten, their internet has been cut off."
