Indian PM Modi Trolled For Claiming He ‘Used’ Emails, Digital Camera in 1980s

Modi, who was mercilessly trolled a couple of days ago for his comments that the 26 February Indian air strike in Pakistan was carried out at his behest “as clouds would prevent radar detection”, came under fire online again for claiming he used a digital camera and email even when these were not available.

New Delhi (Sputnik): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has left many in the country amused by claiming that he used emails and a digital camera in 1980s. The claim appears to have served as fresh fodder for some trolls and baiters in the ongoing parliamentary election season.

Modi, during an interview to a media house, stated that he used a digital camera in 1988 during a public meet of senior party leader Lal Krishan Advani.

“It was in 1987-88 that I used the digital camera for the first time. Advani (his party leader) was addressing a meeting in Gujarat. I clicked his photograph and emailed it to Delhi. The photo was published the next day and Advani was surprised that his coloured photograph was published”.
