Udit Raj slams Tharoor for ‘crossed LoC for first time in 2016’ remark

Congress leader Udit Raj on Wednesday slammed party colleague Shashi Tharoor for his reported remarks that India breached the Line of Control (Loc) for the first time during the 2016 surgical strike on a terror base, saying he should be declared a “super spokesperson of the BJP”.
Congress MP Tharoor, who is leading a multi-party delegation to five countries, while speaking in Panama reportedly said that when “for the first time” India breached the LoC between India and Pakistan to conduct a surgical strike on a terror base that was something we had not done before. Tagging Tharoor’s remarks, Raj said, “My dear Shashi Tharoor, Alas! I could prevail upon PM Modi to declare you as super spokesperson of BJP , even declaring (you) as foreign minister before landing in India. How could you denigrate the golden history of Congress by saying that before PM Modi , India never crossed LoC and International border.”
“In 1965 Indian Army entered Pakistan at multiple points, which completely surprised the Pakistanis in the Lahore sector. In 1971, India tore Pakistan in two pieces and during UPA government several surgical strikes were unleashed but drum beating was not done to encash (it) politically,” he said. How could you be so dishonest to the party which gave you so much, asked Raj.
