Earlier, Tharoor had praised PM Khan in a tweet. He said that one thing he personally knows about Pakistan PM is that his interest in the shared history of the Indian subcontinent is genuine and far-reaching. The former diplomat had sais that PM Khan reads and cares about the history of the subcontinent.
Congress leader also expressed his unhappiness, saying it took a Pakistani leader to remember a great Indian hero on his death anniversary.

Cautioning Telangana Rashtra Samithi for saying the party and CM Rao’s son would be kingmakers, Madhav said that he wanted to tell them that BJP already has the king so they do not need kingmakers now, apparently referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
