After Owaisi, Shashi Tharoor wins hearts for schooling news anchor on Pakistan's motives

Many leaders from AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi to Congress MP Shashi Tharoor led this campaign on social media and global platforms like television channels to show to the world how Pakistan has been behaving as the tensions ratcheted up between the two countries.

Even as India and Pakistan agreed to an immediate ceasefire, announcing the shelving of all military actions from 5 pm on May 10 four says after almost reaching the brink of the war, India has not shied away from letting the world know that its neighbour country has been waging a war of misinformation and fake news.

Many leaders from AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi to Congress MP Shashi Tharoor led this campaign on social media and global platforms like television channels to show to the world how Pakistan has been behaving as the tensions spiked between the two countries.

While Owaisi's reactions to the Pahalgam attack garnered him many praises earlier, the internet is now loving how Shashi Tharoor for his befitting response to a Saudi Arabian news channel anchor when questioned about Pakistan’s motives to attack India and the proof New Delhi has for its claim on the recent terror attack that saw the killing of 26 innocent civilians in the Valley.

“As far as evidence is considered, don’t forget that Pakistan is a master of denial. They denied having anything to do with the Mumbai attacks that killed a 170 people on 26/11/2008, until one of the terrorists was caught alive and the Pakistanis had to admit that he and everything he said came from them. They denied even where Osama Bin Laden was until he was found in a military encampment, not far from a Pakistani Army base inside their own territory," Tharoor told the news channel.

He also added that, “This is the Pakistani route. They constantly show us the evidence. I mean the fact is there is enough circumstantial evidence and there are intelligence intercepts on basis of which India is acting. And India has absolutely no other reason to do this."
