An Indian parliamentary delegation led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor will be in the United States for the final leg of its official visit. Interestingly, a Pakistani delegation is expected to be in Washington at the same time, leading to what Tharoor described as an “interesting phenomenon”.
Speaking about the timing, Tharoor noted that the Pakistani group would “almost” be in Washington “on the same date” as the Indian team. “Tomorrow, they will be in Washington,” he said, adding, “We will also be in Washington on the same day.”He said this overlapping presence could draw attention. “There may be an increase in interest,” Tharoor remarked, “because of the fact that there are two duelling delegations in the same city.”
