      Congress leader Shashi Tharoor issued a clarification after his condolences for former Pakistan dictator Pervez Musharraf caused political controversy.

      After calling Musharraf an "implacable foe of India" who turned into a "force for peace", Tharoor said that he was raised in an India where kind words are spoken for people when they die.

      The Congress MP added that Musharraf was an enemy responsible for the Kargil war, but did work for peace with India between 2002 and 2007. He said that Musharraf was not India's friend, and his peace initiative was driven by strategic benefit.

      A day earlier, the BJP had criticised him for praising a man who had called the Taliban "brothers", and al-Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden a "hero".
