Photo: PTI.Congress leader Manish Tewari on Tuesday hit out at Minister of State for External Affairs General (retd) VK Singh for attending the Pakistan Day function on Monday.He said other minister in the past had refused to attend such events.
"When duty becomes a burden then the appropriate thing to do is put in papers and call it a day," Manish Tewari said.
"If Mr#duty#Disgust is so disgusted with double standards of his govt on Pak he should quit? Other Ministers in past refused to attend PAK EVENTS!" Tewari tweeted.

Shortly after representing the government at the national day reception at the Pakistan High Commission, which kicked up a storm, Singh had issued a series of intriguing tweets defining "disgust" and "duty", indicating that he may have been unhappy at being deputed to it.
In the first of the five quick tweets, Singh, a former Army Chief, said, "To offend the moral sense, principles, or taste of".
This was immediately followed by another which said, "To sicken or fill with loathing".
While the third tweet said, "A job or service allocated," the fourth one said,"The force that binds one morally or legally to one's obligations".
The last tweet said, "A task or action that a person is bound to perform for moral or legal reasons".
Earlier, Singh told reporters after attending the reception that he was asked by the government to represent it at the function.
"The Government of India has to send an MoS. They sent me and I went there and came back," he said replying to a question about his presence at the reception.
Asked specifically whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked him to attend the event, he said, "The Government of India asked me to go there."
Singh attended the event where several Kashmiri separatist leaders including Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Yaseen Malik were also present.
