Congress MP Shashi Tharoor urged External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to “cool a little bit” over the Union minister’s criticism of the West for its habit of commenting on internal matters of other countries. “We need not be so thin-skinned. I think it's very important that as a government we take something in our stride. If we react to every comment, we are doing ourselves a disservice. I will strongly urge External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to cool a little bit,” news agency ANI quoted Tharoor as saying. During a 'Meet and Greet' organised by Bengaluru (south) MP Tejasvi Surya and Bengaluru (central) MP PC Mohan with over 500 young voters, joggers and visitors in the city’s Cubbon Park, Jaishankar said: “The West thinks it has a God-given right to comment on internal matters of other countries.”
