NEW DELHI: Congress vice-president
Rahul Gandhi visited the Nepal
embassy in the capital on Friday to
pay his tributes to victims of the
earthquake, but ended up getting
panned on social media for
apparently referring to some text on
his cellphone while writing the
condolence message.
TV cameras were quick to spot the
cellphone in front of him as he sat
writing the message on the visitors'
book.
TV grabs showed him looking at his
phone while writing, apparently to
copy down the text he may have
earlier keyed in.
In no time the Twitterati were
making fun of him with the hashtag
#PappuCantWriteS**la.
The same Twitterati had recently
backed him when he took on the
Modi government on the issue of net
neutrality.
 
KATHMANDU: Nepal's government
ruled out the possibility on Saturday
of finding more survivors buried in
the rubble from last weekend's
massive earthquake as it announced
the death toll had risen to 6,621.
"It has already been one week since
the disaster," home ministry
spokesman Laxmi Prasad Dhakal
said.
"Weare trying our best in rescue
and relief work but now I don't think
that there is any possibility of
survivors under the rubble."
As well as updating the death toll,
Dhakal put the number of injured at
14,023.
