John Oliver Just Cleared Up Any Doubts We Might Have About Getting the Kohinoor Diamond Back

​The biggest news last week was Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United Kingdom. And what was probably the highlight of that visit was his speech at Wembley Stadium.

So it's obvious that all the news channels were covering the same news. But when news comedy king John Oliver decided to talk about the issue, he decided to look at a different angle. The controversy regarding the Kohinoor diamond and the fact that many in India have expressed that the diamond should be returned to India.

Of course, when Oliver addressed the issue, there was a lot that he had to say. Here, check it out:

So India's never going to get the Kohinoor back, since Britain has no other 'rare possessions' to its name. That's over and above the fact that they have it, and there's nothing we can do about it as John Oliver so obviously pointed it out.

And this isn't the first time that Oliver has covered India is his sketches. Here are some others that are equally hilarious if not more.

Wonder when we'll have a news comedy show that does equal justice. Until then, Sundays is date night with John Oliver.
