ANI editor-in-chief Smita Prakash, who recently conducted an interview with PM Modi, hit out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi after he called her ‘pliable’.

She wrote on Twitter: “Dear Mr Rahul Gandhi, cheap shot at your press conference to attack me. I was asking questions not answering. You want to attack Mr Modi, go ahead but downright absurd to ridicule me. Not expected of a president of the oldest political party in the country.”
