‘Jaw-Jaw is Better Than War-War But...’: Tharoor on Pak PM’s Debate Dare to Modi

Khan is currently in Moscow, where he is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Hours after Pakistan Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan told Russia TV on Tuesday, 22 February that he wants to have a televised debate with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor responded saying that "jaw-jaw is better than war-war" but added that issues are only exacerbated in Indian TV debates.

Khan had said in the interview, "I would love to debate Narendra Modi on TV," Reuters reported.

Khan had added that such a debate would help the two countries work on their strained relations and give a boost to the peace process.
