Posted on 29th May 2025 by rohit kumar

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is facing criticism from his party these days. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has responded to Congress party leader and former MP Udit Raj calling Tharoor a BJP super spokesperson. Kiren Rijiju wrote on Twitter that is it forbidden to speak for the country in Congress? What does the Congress party want and how much do they care about the country? Should Indian MPs go to a foreign nation and speak against India and its Prime Minister? Political frustration has its limits.

 

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is leading the all-party delegation that went abroad to expose Pakistan. His name was not proposed by the Congress. Shashi Tharoor once again reiterated India's firm stand against terrorism in Panama on Wednesday. He said that our country will no longer turn the other cheek. Our country will give a befitting reply to any attack. After this, Congress party leader and former MP Udit Raj had launched a scathing attack on Shashi Tharoor.

 

What did Udit Raj say?

 

Shashi Tharoor said in a speech in Panama that 'The Indian government has changed its thinking in recent years. After which the terrorists have also realized that they will have to pay the price for attacking India. This comment of Tharoor angered the leaders of his party. Udit Raj said that Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has become the super spokesperson of BJP. Whatever BJP leaders are not saying, Shashi Tharoor is saying about PM Modi and the government. Does he (Tharoor) even know what the previous governments did? They (the Central Government) are taking credit for the Indian Armed Forces. Shashi Tharoor has become the spokesperson of the propaganda department of BJP.'

 

What did Shashi Tharoor say that angered the Congressmen?

 

In his speech in Panama, Shashi Tharoor mentioned the surgical strike and Balakot strike and said that 'India's thinking has changed in recent years. Now the terrorists know that they will have to pay the price. There is no doubt about this. For the first time during the surgical strike, India crossed the LoC and attacked terrorist hideouts. Even during the Kargil war, we did not cross the border. This time we have not only crossed the border but also the international border. We targeted nine terrorist hideouts in Punjab located in the middle of Pakistan.
