Prime Minister Narendra Modi was criticized by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday for making a joke about a suicide note.

The debate started when he remarks on Wednesday at a media channel summit. PM Modi recalled a joke about a professor who was reading a suicide note written by his daughter and said that, despite his best efforts over the years, she had spelt something incorrectly. The Prime Minister cracked the joke while noting that the channel's head editor had begun speaking Hindi fluently.
