The group was bombarded with criticism and accused of insulting the prime minister and hurting national sentiment.
 

As I said in the morning. Your intentions matter the most. AIB's intention is not to make people laugh but to hurt. AIB will die eventually. https://t.co/QWcyWG05Cn

AIB always gets under fire for their most unfunny jokes. First the sachin-lata thing, now the Modi meme.

With fame and power, comes great responsibility. As a comedian, u must know difference between joke, insult and hurting sentiments.

AIB deleted the post, but the trolling didn't stop.

Tanmay Bhatt, one of the prominent faces of the group, then tweeted his response to the trolling.
 

PS: Will continue making jokes. And deleting if necessary. And making jokes again. And Apologizing if necessary. Don't care what you think.
