Kuwait City (Kuwait) – Congress MP Shashi Tharoor was slammed by the Indian embassy here for retweeting an anti-India tweet by a Pakistani national.

Sad to see an Hon’ble Member of Indian Parliament retweeting an anti-India tweet by a Pakistani agent who was recipient of a Pakistani Award ‘Ambassador of Peace’ for his anti-India activities. We should not encourage such anti-India elements. https://t.co/e43MAmc50j pic.twitter.com/v3hoL582tL
