Internet during the Mahabhharata era: Assam BJP MP supports Tripura CM

The BJP MP thanked the Tripura CM to make it public and said in Mahabhharata era, Sanjay did work as television and he gave a detailed transcript description to King Dhritarashtra (who was blind) about the battle of Kurukshetra.

“Science existed in our Vedas and the Tripura CM’s statement is absolutely correct,” the BJP MP said.

BJP MP from Assam’s Tezpur parliamentary constituency RP Sharma also said rape cases should not be politicised.

“Those who commit heinous crimes like rape must be hanged or shot in public. Rapists are more dangerous than terrorism, cancer,” MP RP Sharma said.

Even as it triggered a controversy, Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy on Wednesday backed state Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb's remark on internet that it even existed during the time of Mahabharata.

Roy said Deb's observation on the happenings of the Puranic period are 'topical'.

"Tripura Chief Minister’s observations about the happenings of the Puranic period are topical. It is virtually impossible to conceive of devices like ‘Divya drishti’,Pushpaka Ratha’,etc without some kind of prototype and study thereon," Roy tweeted as he backed the newly elected state Chief Minister.

Triggering a controversy, Deb has said internet used to exist during the time of Mahabharata.
