Writer Javed Akhtar on Thursday took a jibe at Tripura Chief
Minister Biplab Kumar Deb for saying that the Internet existed during the time
of Mahabharata.
Taking a jibe at Deb, Akthar on Thursday tweeted: "Why
are people making fun of the CM of Tripura for claiming that there was internet
in Mahabharata times? They should look at their own religious beliefs with the
same objectivity. Any religious belief in the world is only as logical and
reasonable as the beliefs of this man."
Deb on Tuesday claimed that
Internet and satellite communication existed in the days of Mahabharata. He said
so while inaugurating a two-day workshop on computerisation of Public
Distribution System (PDS) in Agartala.
