At no point Rahul called foreign countries to intervene, said anything remotely anti-national: Shashi Tharoor

Asked if Gandhi could have avoided those remarks, Tharoor said, "I am not the one who spoke. To my mind there is nothing there to apologise for because there is nothing there that is in any way remotely anti-national." "You can say why you go there at all, why can't you talk about something else.... The fact is that everyone in a democracy is entitled to express their views on what they consider appropriate forums and I will not decry any individual," he said.
