 "#ModiInAfrica: Here's how social media trolled PM's 'memorable' moments")
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a five-day tour to four African nations – Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya and the social media is flooded with ‘memorable’ moments from this trip. On Sunday PM Modi arrived in Tanzania and he played the traditional Tanzania drum in Dar es Salaam, with Tanzanian President John Magufuli. His drumming received severe criticism in light of the violence that took place in Kashmir on Saturday. He was even compared to US President Barack Obama who cut-short his Europe trip in the light of the violence that took place in Dallas.
On Friday, Modi talked about South Africa’s contribution in the transformation of Mahatma Gandhi and how the youth should be the driving force to a country’s development, but it was Modi’s ‘Madiba’ shirt that drew the attention of the Twiteratti. https://twitter.com/RealHistoryPic/status/751488177064390656
Reliving history, on Saturday Modi had retraced Mahatma Gandhi’s train journey in South Africa as he travelled to a railway station where Gandhi was thrown out of a train compartment that proved to be a turning point in his life. The train ride was also heavily criticised for its ‘dramatic’ qualities. https://twitter.com/RealHistoryPic/status/751823670037929984 Even Congress leader Shashi Tharoor could not resist taking a dig at him.
