VK Singh in new controversy |
India`s Minister of State of External Affairs, Gen. (Retd.) V K Singh, has a run-in with a fresh controversy on April 7. He is criticized by several political parties for describing the media as `presstitutes`. The Congress said his comments were deplorable and insensitive; the Left said they reflected the minister`s mindset. The remark was made in a Tweet and followed a press briefing in Djibouti. The former Army chief raised eyebrows for saying that visiting the Pakistani high commission was more exciting than conducting rescue operations in Yemen. Singh is camping in Djibouti to oversee evacuation of Indians from Yemen. He is said to be taking a dig at a section of the media which had criticized him for attending Pakistan Day celebrations.
