No Modi spoke about it in Delhi's Rohini meeting, the fun part was he said "I don't know who that indian journalist was sitting there eating nawaz sharief's mithai and listening him insulting our PM........ but that journalist should have refused nawaz's mithai and walked out of there."
Burkha was up all night tweeting contradicting statements to clarify !

It was hilarious. I saw Modi's speech. The story of NS talking sh8t with Barkha in tow had exploded earlier but as is the wont' of paid media, it was getting buried.
Modi did not name any journo, just pointed out that some Indian journos are getting mithais from bakistan. This threw Barkha in a tizzy and she dug a deep hole, plied it with dung and jumped into it herself. And there were others (all her media friends) which started doing "blame modi" campaign all over.
For eg. Barkha said (summarizations so some context will be lost)
1. NS said no such thing
1a to z: Calls the baki who broke it as liar, but the story is all over Utube., on their national news etc.
Calls everybody who trusts baki journos and not her (an Indian journo) as morons
2. Then when confronted further, she said she was not present when NS said such a thing
2a to z: Some more lies when she was present and when she was not present and who else was present,
at this stage some baki journos try to help her out and they end up saying as she was present and not present (one says she was not present while NS talked about it, another said the other journo was not present, but she was present and all circles)., of course Barkha is now caught with her chaddi in twist.
3. Barkha then says NS talks about a old tale of two old woman fighting in village etc. and nothing bad was meant for MMS.
So she was present and NS did not say "Dehati aurat" but "Dehati Budhiya" (Village old-woman).
At that stage, was not Modi right? That Barkha should have walked out in protest? Barkha was caught with her proverbial chaddis twisted and down.
Her reputation has been blown to smithereens and more importantly by giving this issue so much oxygen - in the eyes of politicos - she is now "damaged goods"!
What should she have done? She could have said this two simple things:
1. Yes, NS said things which I chose not to publish because they were below standard
2. Reported what NS said to the Indian High Commissioner
3*. Could have stated (even falsely) that she cautioned NS that such language is unbecoming of a PM.
But nah, just like Pavlovian dogs, they chose to attack Modi with lies and deceit and fell apart.
