"Let me make it clear that this is the most reprehensible, cheap, undemocratic and gutter-level tactics by whoever has done it," Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi told the media here.

The Congress claimed that a software that tracked anonymous Wikipedia edits indicated that the mischievous changes were made to the entries on June 26.

"Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) and IT minister (Ravi Shankar Prasad) should tell us what action they are taking on the editing (done) on Wikipedia pages by a government agency," Singhvi said.
