Some Stopped from Speaking: PM Takes Dig at Congress over Tharoor
In a veiled attack on the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a dig at the opposition party, saying that “a few leaders have been prohibited from speaking in the House.” This came after the Congress reportedly did not pick its leaders, including Shashi Tharoor, who were part of the Operation Sindoor delegations, to speak during the special debate in Lok Sabha.
The comment was seen as a reference to Tharoor, who has been at the center of a controversy over his remarks on the Gyanvapi mosque issue. Tharoor had sparked a row by saying that the mosque was built on a Hindu temple and that the discovery of a Shivling inside the mosque was a “clear indication” that it was built on a Hindu temple.
The Congress party had distanced itself from Tharoor’s remarks, saying that they did not agree with his views. However, Tharoor had stood by his statement, saying that he had only presented historical facts.
The Prime Minister’s comment came during a special debate in the Lok Sabha, where the government is seeking to pass a bill to amend the Hindu Marriage Act. The bill seeks to allow couples of different faiths to get married under the Hindu Marriage Act.
The Congress party had decided not to participate in the debate, and instead, had sent a delegation of its leaders to the House to protest against the bill. The delegation included Tharoor, who had been a vocal critic of the bill.
However, the Congress party’s effort to protest against the bill was thwarted when the government did not allow its leaders to speak in the House. This led to a tense atmosphere in the Lok Sabha, with the Congress party’s leaders shouting slogans and refusing to leave the House.
The Prime Minister’s comment was seen as a reference to this incident, and was widely seen as a dig at the Congress party. The comment was also seen as a way of the Prime Minister to take a swipe at Tharoor, who has been a vocal critic of the government.
Tharoor had been a key leader of the Congress party in the Lok Sabha, and had been a vocal critic of the government’s policies. However, his remarks on the Gyanvapi mosque issue had sparked a row, and had led to him being disinvited from the party’s meeting on the issue.
The Prime Minister’s comment was seen as a way of the government to take a swipe at the Congress party, and to undermine its credibility. The comment was also seen as a way of the government to show that it was not afraid of taking on the opposition party, and to assert its dominance in the Lok Sabha.
The Congress party had been trying to regain its lost ground in the Lok Sabha, but the Prime Minister’s comment was seen as a setback for the party.
