For the uninitiated, Pachauri was Dr Manmohan Singh’s “communications adviser,” if that makes any sense.If the Finance Minister of the nation is so in poor health knowledgeable, think about the inputs being given to #G7 by India. PM Manmohan Singh attended the Summit as a particular visitor at UK, Japan and Germany. https://t.co/PzeWwmOXnk pic.twitter.com/PrCwKJDnWD— Pankaj Pachauri (@PankajPachauri) June 14, 2021Why journalists of a sure leaning bought so labored up by one inadvertent tweet of Nirmala Sitharaman, regardless of the Finance Minister issuing a clarification a lot earlier than her tweet catching the attention of those “fact checkers” just isn’t recognized. Perhaps, it was to offer ammunition to Congress leaders and liberals who’ve been blinded by their hatred for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.
