Meanwhile, MEA Spokesperson, Raveesh Kumar, retweeting the press release wrote: “We strongly condemn those responsible for deliberately spreading such fake and malicious news, to divide communities, create disharmony and undermine friendship between the people of India and Bangladesh.”
In conclusion, it is clear that PM Modi didn’t write a congratulatory letter to CJI Gogoi.
