New Delhi, March 28 (Inditop.com) Once bitten, twice shy. With an aggressive media seizing on every word he says and scanning his tweets for a juicy story, the minister, who created headlines for his “cattle class” remarks in the middle of recession last year, is now more circumspect.
Shashi Tharoor is specially wary of television journalists, specially from a news channel that has earned a reputation for compulsive Pakistan-bashing. A man who at one time courted the media has made it his policy now to dodge the media that religiously trails him wherever he goes. If it’s a press conference on India-Africa relations, he refuses to take any questions other than on the subject.
Recently, the media waited for him outside a seminar at Sapru House, but he was in no mood to oblige them. “Did I ask you to wait,” he said when a journo complained he has been waiting for over an hour for him.
