After BJP criticised Congress leader Shashi Tharoor for calling Sushma Swaraj's UN speech a party campaign, Tharoor has hit back at BJP saying Swaraj's speech mentioned PM Modi 10 times and India only 5 times. He said that he felt it was a 'bit rich' for BJP to point fingers at him when Swaraj used the UN as a political platform. BJP had accused Tharoor and the opposition party of speaking in a tone like Pakistan.
