*NEW DELHI – Wire agency Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) came into thespotlight recently, not for its stellar journalism but for a ratherunbelievable mistake.*
The agency made a huge blunder recently when it referred to Indian PrimeMinister Narendra Modi as “Prime Minister Narendra Bakhchod Modi” in aSeptember 12 wire story.
