Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, part of an Indian delegation at an international forum, lashed out at Pakistan after it raised Jammu and Kashmir yet again. It is ironic, Mr Tharoor said, that a state responsible for countless cross-border terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir is trying to "masquerade as a champion of Kashmiris". At the Inter-Parliamentary Union, a global forum for political multilateral negotiations, held in Serbia, Pakistan had claimed it was unable to host the APA session in December because of the developments in Jammu and Kashmir.
