Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, on Tuesday, lauded Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for his tweet on Tipu Sultan’s death anniversary on May 4. Tharoor further added that it is unfortunate  that it took a Pakistani leader to remember a “great Indian hero”.

Tharoor took to Twitter and wrote “One thing I personally know about Imran Khan is that his interest in the shared history of the Indian subcontinent is genuine and far-reaching. He reads; he cares.

One thing i personally know about @imranKhanPTI is that his interest in the shared history of the Indian subcontinent is genuine & far-reaching. He read; he cares. It is disappointing, though, that it took a Pakistani leader to remember a great Indian hero on his punyathithi. https://t.co/kWIySEQcJM

While reacting over Tharoor’s remark, BJP general secretary Ram Madhav said the Congress leader’s love for neighbours and hate for Indian leaders is well known. Media quoted Madhav as saying, “He uses choicest abuses for our leaders, and he has great love for people across the border. He has to think what he is doing is right or not.”
