Times Now managed to get that tweet deleted but by that time entire Pakistan had retweeted it. Here is that snap shot- https://twitter.com/pm_blisla/status/367933780197003265/photo/1

    The Nation demands an answer, Arnab Goswami.

    Blame it on the poor recruitment and training standards of Indian media industry.
