Congress leader Shashi Tharoor will not attend the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha. When asked Tharoor about this, he laughed and said- Silent fast and fast. The Congress says that they have refused to join it at their own will.
During the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, Gaurav Gogoi, Priyanka Gandhi, Deepender Hooda, Parineeti Shinde, Shafi Parambil, Manikam Tagore and Raja Brar will keep on behalf of the Congress. On the question of not being named in the list of Congress speakers, Tharoor said in the Parliament complex, ‘Silent fast … silence …’.
On April 22, there was a terrible terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 civilians. In retaliation for this attack, the Indian Army conducted an operation called Operation Sindoor and destroyed the terrorists’ bases in Pakistan. There is a special discussion in the Lok Sabha today about this attack and military operation.
On the question of journalists in the Parliament complex, Tharoor smiled.
Congress MP Tharoor went on a trip abroad to present India’s side on ‘Operation Sindoor’. One of the seven delegations sent to different countries of the world was led. Tharoor supported the government’s move, saying the nation earlier. He also praised Prime Minister Modi by writing articles.
Since then, it is believed that the Congress leadership is not happy with his move. However, according to sources, Rahul Gandhi had asked Tharoor to lead the discussion on Operation Sindoor. But Tharoor refused.
The Congress had alleged that the government had asked him four names to go to these delegations, on which four names were given to the government. But the government, bypassing those names, included other leaders including Shashi Tharoor and Salman Khurshid in the delegation.
Even after returning to India, relations between Tharoor and Congress did not normalize. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said without naming Tharoor, that Modi is the first for some people and the country is later. Kharge’s statement was about Tharoor’s inclination towards the government.
