Congress leader Sam Pitroda has issued a clarification after his remark about feeling “at home” in Pakistan sparked a row. Pitroda said his words were meant to highlight the shared history and people-to-people bonds in the subcontinent. He stressed that he did not want to ignore pain, conflict, or challenges from terror and tensions. In his statement, he said his intention was to foster honest discussion, empathy, and a balanced view of India’s role in the region. The BJP strongly attacked his remarks, accusing Congress of undermining national interest. Pitroda has often faced controversy over past comments. (PC: NDTV)
