Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Kiren Rijiju, an athlete himself, is known to try his hand at many sports around the country. Recently, Kiren Rijiju took to Twitter to reveal his love for a fishing adventurous sport called 'angling' - a method of fishing also played as a sport. As insightful as ever, Kiren Rijiju had some words of advice for those who did not know the sport. Posting pictures of him fishing and taking a dip in the deep and dangerous confluence of Bichom and Dingin, Kiren Rijiju jokingly said that if people failed to catch fishes then they could swim instead too.
