Defending his bizarre statement that the internet was invented lakhs of years ago and that the technology and satellites existed since Mahabharata era, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb on Wednesday said that narrow-minded people won’t believe it as they want to belittle their own country. “Narrow-minded people find it tough to believe this.
