'Narayan, Narayan': ICC retweets Asaram Bapu-Narendra Modi video, faces Twitter fury
Dubai: On a day when the Jodhpur Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe Court held self-styled godman Asaram Bapu and two others guilty for the rape of a 16-year-old girl at his ashram in 2013, the International Cricket Council (ICC) landed itself in a trouble by retweeting an old video, showing the current India Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Asaram Bapu, with a message “Narayan, Narayan”.
The tweet, which ICC retweeted, read "Sharing some old sweet memories between @narendramodi and Asaram".

While the cricket’s governing body deleted the tweet, it was too little too late as the screenshots of the tweet went viral, with some of the users questioning ICC.
@ICC since when you got interested in Indian politics?
