'This is extremely insulting...', Shashi Tharoor got angry at Trump's statement about the dead economy; He told what should be the next strategy.

In recent times, US President Donald Trump has termed India a dead economy. After this comment by Trump, there was a political stir in the country. The opposition started cornering the government on this issue. However, the Congress MP said that India is not a dead economy.

Meanwhile, once again, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has given his reaction to Trump's comment. He said that when wars are being fought with the active participation of some of the biggest powers, those who are expected to maintain the world order are contributing to promoting chaos. In this situation, India needs to be very clear about its national interests.

Know what else Shashi Tharoor said.

While attending an event in Pune, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor discussed many issues apart from his new book, The Living Constitution. On Trump's decision of a dead economy, Tharoor said that the words of the US President cannot be taken; however, they should be taken seriously.

Tharoor said that Trump is the President of America, and his decisions can affect policies, and policies can affect us. In this situation, Trump should be taken seriously.

'Ye to waise hi baat ho gayi...'

Shashi Tharoor said that when he (Trump) says that your economy is over, it is like a school child saying in the playground that your mother is ugly. You should take it seriously. It is meant for insult, not to be taken literally.

We have to talk about our national interest.

Shashi Tharoor said that wars are being fought with the active participation of some of the biggest powers in the world, and this means that those who are expected to maintain the world order are contributing to promoting chaos.

Shashi Tharoor said that amidst all this, what does India do to improve its position? Well, first of all, we have to make it clear in our minds what our national interests are. Further said that India's first and foremost national interest is the well-being of its people, the Indian people.

'We have to be among the rule makers'

Shashi Tharoor said that we have to be among the rule makers, not just the rule takers. We have to become an important player so that we are not in a position where others can dictate or suppress us. Our credibility matters. We are already the most populous country in the world. We are already one of the largest economies in the world and will soon become the third-largest economy.
