BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said, ‘Shashi Tharoor has once again dared to show the mirror to Rahul Gandhi, who is continuously running propaganda against India. Dr. Shashi Tharoor rightly said that the foreign policy is not of any one party, but of the country. I hope that Congress will not take any action against him, but it is possible that they may issue a fatwa against him because he cannot tolerate national interest above family interest.
