The comment was reciprocated by Telegram saying that its users know how things work and urging WhatsApp to see proof of the message screenshoot included under the comment.
"Our users know how things work, and have an open source application to do it. you... talk to the screenshot. (Proof) It says that you lied," Telegram replied.
