Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his speech in Parliament on Thursday, saying that "the PM was joking and mocking" while the Lok Sabha was discussing the Manipur violence. "Yesterday, the PM spoke in Parliament for about 2 hours and 13 minutes. In the end, he spoke on Manipur for 2 minutes. Manipur has been burning for months, people are being killed, and rapes are happening, but the PM was laughing, cracking jokes. It doesn't suit him," Rahul Gandhi said.

Should India not embrace the favorite tag instead of having a negative outlook at it? Rohit Sharma and his men will head to the ODI World Cup at home as favourites.
