Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday apologised for misreading Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech delivered on the occasion of Bangladesh's 50th National Day.
He said based on a "quick reading of headlines and tweets", he had tweeted 'everyone knows who liberated Bangladesh' implying that PM Modi had "omitted to acknowledge Indira Gandhi's" role in the liberation of India’s neighbour.
Admitting he was wrong he said he later found out that the Modi did actually mention the former Indian PM in his speech.
