On the fateful day of February 14, a ghastly terrorist attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama which claimed the lives of more than 40 CRPF soldiers shook whole country’s conscience. The responsibility for the deadliest terrorist attack against the security forces in decades was claimed by Pakistan based terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammad. India, however, took some strong steps against the terror-friendly neighbour by withdrawing the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status conferred on Pakistan, hiking customs duty on Pakistani goods exported to India by 200%, vowing to divert water of 3 rivers flowing into Pakistan into the Yamuna. Contributing to the same, India's tomato growing farmers decided not to export tomatoes to Pakistan.

The last step of not exporting tomatoes to Pakistan has not gone down well with many Pakistanis, especially an irate Pakistan journalist, who appeared particularly disturbed by the decision. The video of the journalist giving a 'Tauba tauba tamatar' monologue on the same was posted on Twitter and has been going viral ever since. Take a look: 

The journalist even threatened that Pakistan will retaliate India’s decision of banning export of tomatoes. His hilarious ‘threats’ have left people in splits at this hilarious outrage over tomatoes.
