Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Thursday took a dig at Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, who was hosted at the White House by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

Tharoor said that according to the White House, Munir had once said that Trump should be conferred the Nobel Peace Prize. Soon after, he was rewarded with a lunch there, he said.

“I haven’t seen the outcome of the meeting," Tharoor said, on being asked to comment on the Trump-Munir meeting.

“According to the White House, this general had said that the President should get the Nobel Peace Prize, and then he was rewarded with a lunch. I hope the food was good and he has also got some food for thought in the process," the Congress MP said.
