New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday reacted to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s proposal of a TV debate with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he agrees that “jaw-jaw is better than war-war.” However, no issues are ever resolved in Indian television debates, only exacerbated, he asserted.
During an interview with Russia’s state-run television network Russia Today on the eve of his maiden two-day visit to Moscow, Imran Khan had said that he would like to have a TV debate with Mr Modi to resolve differences between the two neighbouring countries.
Reacting to Imran Khan’s remarks, Mr Tharoor tweeted, “Dear @ImranKhanPTI, agree that ‘jaw-jaw is better than war-war’, but no issues are ever resolved in Indian television debates, only exacerbated!” “And some of our anchors would be happy to ignite World War III if it would increase their TRPs….,” the MP from Thiruvananthapuram said.
In response to a question, Imran Khan said, “I would love to debate with Narendra Modi on TV.” He added that it would be so good for over a billion people of the subcontinent if differences between Pakistan and India could be resolved through a debate, news agency PTI reported.
