New
Delhi: A day after he was publicly reproached by his
senior colleague S M Krishna, Union Minister of State for External
Affairs Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday commented on Twitter that he had
missed brouhaha on the issue.
Tharoor, however refused to add anything to his earlier comments.
In
his latest post on social networking site Twitter Tharoor said: "Was
travelling out of range and missed brouhaha. Now that EAM (External
Affairs Minister) Krishnaji, whom I respect, has spoken, I hv (have)
nothing 2 (to) add. Will discuss visa issue w (with) him.”
On
Monday, Krishna had dubbed Tharoor for questioning the tightening of
visa rules and asked him to discuss his "perceptions within four walls
of the government rather than in public.”
Tharoor also thanked his followers in the network for supporting him on the issue.
"But thanks for all the kind words over the last 24hrs. Appreciate the support!," he stated.
On Saturday, Tharoor questioned the tightening of visa rules in the backdrop of the David Headley case by posting a tweet.
“Issue is not security vs tourism, but whether visa restrictions protect our security,” Tharoor had tweeted.
