Oxford Dictionary embarrasses Rahul Gandhi
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,May 17 2019]
Rahul Gandhi has been fact-checked by the Oxford Dictionary. On Thursday, the Congress president went to the town saying that the Dictionary has added the word Modilie to its repertoire. He said that the word means 'To constantly modify the truth'. Named after the lies spoken by Modi, the word was used to shame and ridicule the Prime Minister.
Oxford Dictionary's team, which may or may not be aware of the ongoing elections in India, issued a matter-of-factly, no-nonsense clarification. We can confirm that the image showing the entry ‘Modilie’ is fake and does not exist in any of our Oxford Dictionaries, it said, replying to Rahul on Twitter.
Rahul had shared a photoshopped image on Twitter.
There’s a new word in the English Dictionary. Attached is a snapshot of the entry :) pic.twitter.com/xdBdEUL48r
