Indian top journalist Burkha Dutt hits out at fellow journalist over Imran Khan oath taking ceremony invites

NEW DELHI - Renowned Indian journalist and author Barkha Dutt has hit out at fellow journalist over treacherous comments against Indians invites for joining Pakistan PM elect Imran Khan oath taking ceremony.

She has slammed a fellow TV show host for disgraceful comments about invites sent by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to former Indian cricketers for attending Imran Khan’s oath-taking as Prime Minister.

Ms, Dutt was responding to a tweet posted by Times Now show host Madhavdas G. who claimed that Sunil Gavaskar had turned down Imran Khan’s invitation to put India first.

The anchor person then went on to ask Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu to dump Imran Khan’s invitation.

“Gavaskar puts India first. Turns down Imran's invite. 'Desh' not 'dost' priority. Message for Sidhu and Cong. Pro-Imran lobby is on test. Will Sidhu dump Imran too?” he said.

Barka Dutt called the tweet an absolute crap.

“If attending Imran Khan’s swearing in is anti national, is our entire cricket team treacherous because they signed a beat for him?” she questioned. “Aren’t journalists seriously ashamed of mouthing this bakwas.. shameful,” she remarked.
