Barkha Dutt tweets: Don't agree with @Gen_VKSingh choice of words, but equally true that channel under attack vilifies others, including media, without a pause.
Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh was caught in a
fresh controversy over his remarks comparing the Yemen evacuation
operation with his visit to the Pakistani mission recently and later
making snide remarks against a TV channel.
"Actually
speaking, the operation (evacuation) in Yemen is less exciting than
going to the Pakistani embassy," he said in Djibouti when asked about
his overseeing the evacuation of Indians.
As
his remarks evoked sharp reaction from political parties including
Congress which said the comments were "deplorable" and showed his
"insensitivity", he blamed a TV channel.
"Friends
what do you you expect from presstitutes," he said in a tweet late
night adding that last time the TV anchor thought there was 'O' in place
of 'E'.
