Congress vs Congress: Manish Tewari Clarifies After Row Over 26/11 Remark

The leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, last week had hit out at Manish Tewari over his criticism of the UPA dispensation for its response to the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes, saying the ex-Union minister didn't raise it when he was part of the government.

Days after Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury criticised him and asked him to focus on China instead of the 26/11 attacks, Congress leader Manish Tewari on Sunday hit back at Mr Chowdhury, sharing screenshots of his tweets directed at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in which he raised the issue of the government's response to China. Dear @adhirrcinc DadaThe screen shots of the tweets ????????addressed to Honble Defense Minister @rajnathsingh ji below hope address your concern and criticism also. The continued incursions by China & the response of NDA/ BJP Government to them do form a substantial part of my book pic.twitter.com/HKNIABqQCn 1/1 Respected @rajnathsingh jiTrolls in your party I understand but as Union Defense Minister I would urge you to read my book if you seriously think Surgical Strikes or Balakot bombings have brought about any substantive change in behaviour of Pakistanhttps://t.co/rWZn4i3S4n

The leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, Mr Chowdhury, last week had hit out at Mr Tewari over his criticism of the UPA dispensation for its response to the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes, saying the ex-Union minister didn't raise it when he was part of the government.

Mr Chowdhury had said that instead of the 26/11 attacks, Mr Tewari should focus on China and its recent activities along India's border.

Hitting back at Mr Chowdhury, Mr Tewari tweeted, "Dear @adhirrcinc Dada, The screen shots of the tweets addressed to Hon'ble Defense Minister @rajnathsingh ji below hope address your concern and criticism also."
