New Delhi: Sunanda Pushkar, the wife of union minister Shashi Tharoor who was found dead in a posh hotel of south Delhi on Jan 17, created a scene on the second of this month at a private dinner party in Dubai when she shouted at a local journalist who was having a political discussion with her husband Shashi Tharoor, according to a report published in ‘Khaleej TimesThe journalist was completely shocked when Sunanda interrupted the discussion and shouted at the journalist saying, “You really need to stop this!” Shashi Tharoor was saying: “I think the BJP was allowing itself to become perhaps too confident of the elections, given some of the inevitable anti-incumbency that seeps in the Indian electorate, whether state or national, after 10 years of the same party in power.” “I think the Aam Aadmi's party's revival ...'' Shashi Tharoor was about to complete this sentence when Sunanda put in her appearance and forced an abrupt end to the interview. Even Shashi Tharoor completely failed to understand why Sunanda got so furious. Just to mask his embarrassment, Shashi Tharoor slipped away. But Sunanda was just unstoppable. She continued to rant, “This is why I hate the media. I have thrown liquor at Arnab Goswami (Times Now anchor). You think I can't do that to you?” According to media reports, the PR firm which had organised the interview was apologetic and admitted Sunanda had stepped out of line. The PR firm also thanked the reporter for not responding to her insults and verbal assault. Sunanda denied the report published in ‘Khaleej Times' but the publication has said it stands by the report. Sunanda said, she herself offered an interview to the journalist the following day.
