It is not everyday that the official Twitter handle of Press information Bureau (PIB) makes a mistake. But when it does, the chances of Twitterati sparing it are few.
On Friday, PIB tweeted an image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a function to commemorate Constitution Day wherein while the PM along with others is holding an updated version of the Constitution of India. And for some reason the PIB called it the ‘new version’ of the nation’s Constitution.
Soon after the tweet went out, reactions started pouring in:

I’m guessing it’s a new print of the existing version and not a new version in itself. Hire me @PIB_India &I can tweet better @narendramodi
