V K Singh refers TV anchor as 'presstitutes'

April 08, 2015 08:23

Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh was today caught in a fresh controversy over his remarks comparing the Yemen evacuation operation with his visit to the Pakistani mission recently and later making snide remarks against a TV channel.

"Actually speaking, the operation (evacuation) in Yemen is less exciting than going to the Pakistani embassy," he said in Djibouti when asked about his overseeing the evacuation of Indians.

As his remarks evoked sharp reaction from political parties including Congress which said the comments were "deplorable" and showed his "insensitivity", he blamed a TV channel.

"Friends what do you you expect from presstitutes," he said in a tweet late night adding that last time the TV anchor thought there was 'O' in place of 'E'.
