| Congress president Rahul Gandhi has Singapore audience in splits | | | Agencies
NEW DELHI: An Indian-origin economist in Singapore is threatening to take the Congress to court over a tweet it posted of party president Rahul Gandhi's interaction at a university in the city state.
The clip the party posted juxtaposes an audience question critical of the Congress with a second one - an audience comment really - heaping praise on it, and then shows Rahul's answer - a rather humorous answer - to the second question.
The man who asked the first question is Prasenjit Basu, an economist and author of a book called 'Asia Reborn:' He's the one peeved that the Congress posted a video that shows his question but not Rahul's answer to his question.
The video isn't exactly doctored, but Basu calls it "a classic fake-news video". The Congress didn't even censor Basu's critical question, it just chose to highlight an answer that Rahul gave later in his interaction, which referred to Basu's question. The author though believes the Congress is using his image to "falsely advertise" the party President.
"Withdraw this false video, or prepare for prosecution in Singapore's courts!", tweeted an irate-sounding Basu. |
