In reply to PM Modi's tweet on X, Swamy said, "Modi should take Cinema star Sharuk Khan to Qatar with him since after MEA and NSA had failed to persuade the Shiekhs of Qatar, Modi pleaded with Khan to intervene, and thus got an expensive settlement from the Qatar Shiekhs to free our Naval officers."
Recently, the Pathaan actor visited Doha, Qatar to pay a visit to the Gulf nation to attend the AFC Final as a Special Guest of Honor.
