@KanchanGupta I unfollowed @NMenonRao who brazenly justified Congress's unabashed attempt to censor free speech. That's not her tax-funded job.
Ambassador Rao @NMenonRao @KanchanGupta That's quite a shellacking. Not sure if I deserve it. As Ambassador of India I project government policy. Allow me to speak.
Kanchan Gupta @KanchanGupta @NMenonRao Ambassador that wasn't policy you were projecting. It was unjustifiable censorship. Please recall my tweet in response that day.
Ambassador Rao @NMenonRao @KanchanGupta You are entitled to your view as I to mine. I will leave it at that.
Kanchan Gupta @KanchanGupta @NMenonRao Sure. I too would leave it at that.
Smoke emanating out of sundry ears, we hear.
