New Delhi: Union Minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar has slammed Congress leader Shashi Tharoor after he termed Pervez Musharraf as a 'foe-turned-real force for peace' in his condolence message for the former Pakistan military ruler, saying his post "best describes Congress".

The party was criticised by Mr. Chandrashekhar on Twitter for accepting a person who "caused terror, a backstabbing conflict, and tortured our soldiers in violation of every International law" as a member of their ranks.

"Nothing like a proper military thrashing for Fatcat Pak Dictator Generals to become a "force for peace" and develop "clear strategic thinking". Notwithstanding many lives lost and international laws violated n harm caused all around, these Generals will have their admiring fans in India," the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar wrote in his tweet.

In another tweet, Mr Chandrasekhar said, "That a former Cong Foreign Min (a party that refused to celebrate Kargil Vijay Diwas till 2010) wud think that a Pak General who inflicted terror, a backstabbing conflict n tortured our Soldiers in violation of every Intl law, wud be a "force for peace" - best describes Cong."

 

"Nothing turns Fatcat Pak Dictator Generals into "forces for peace" and fosters "clear strategic thinking" like a good military beating. Despite the numerous lives lost, international laws broken, and harm made everywhere, these generals will continue to have admiring admirers in India "Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, stated in his tweet.

Pervez Musharraf, the former president of Pakistan, passed away from a rare disease, Mr. Tharoor tweeted. "Once an ardent foe of India, he became a great force for peace 2002-2007," he added.

"I used to run into him at the @un every year and thought he was brilliant, interesting, and had good strategic thinking. RIP, "stated the former secretary of state for international relations.

After a protracted illness, Musharraf died on Sunday at an American hospital in the United Arab Emirates, according to Daily Pakistan.

During the Kargil conflict between Pakistan and India, Musharraf oversaw the army of Pakistan.

Musharraf is thought to have planned the battle between the two nations without telling the then-prime minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif.

After a successful military coup in 1999, Musharraf became Pakistan's eleventh president.

He held the positions of 7th top general from 1998 to 2007 and 10th Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee of Pakistan (CJCSC) from 1998 to 2001.
