Modi made fun of dyslex­ia to take potsho­ts at his politi­cal rivals, say right groups­Right groups in India have condemned insensitive remarks made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an interaction with students at a local institute. In a statement issued, groups demanded Modi apologise to differently abled students for the statement, reported the Indian Express. During a conference, which he was attending, an engineering student told Modi about a programme that could help dyslexic children who face reading and writing difficulties. “Dyslexic children are those whose learning and writing pace is very slow but creativity level and intelligence is quite good,” the student told Modi, giving an example of Bollywood movie Taare Zameen Par. It is all the more unpardonable as it comes from a person holding such a high office.”This story originally appeared on the Indian Express.
