Shashi Tharoor Slammed Over Tweet On US J&K Resolution

The Congress never misses an opportunity to politicize India’s domestic matters, the BJP said on Sunday, reacting to MP Shashi Tharoor’s praise for the introduction of a resolution in the US House of Representatives against the restrictions imposed by the center in Jammu and Kashmir. In reply, Mr. Tharoor accused the BJP of “willful misreading” of his tweet, adding the party shelters behind national interests when it “conducts indefensible policies”. “Amused by the BJP’s willful misreading of my tweet. What’s shameful is how our Parliament has been unable to take up this issue, while a foreign legislature has. What’s admirable is that the US Congress can discuss issues our own MPs can’t,” Mr. Tharoor tweeted.
