Congress’ Manish Tewari shares article on party snubbing him & Tharoor, writes cryptic post
In a surprise move, Congress MP Manish Tewari took to social media to share a cryptic post, sparking curiosity among party loyalists and political enthusiasts alike. The post, which features a song with the lyrics “Bharat ka rehne waala hoon, Bharat ki baat sunata hoon- Jai Hind” (I am a patriot, I listen to the country’s voice- Long live India), has left many wondering what message the senior leader is trying to convey.
Tewari’s post comes in the wake of a report published by an online news outlet, which suggests that he, along with fellow Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, was “benched” by the party during the Operation Sindoor debate in the Lok Sabha. The article, titled “‘Spoke in favour of govt’: Why Congress benched Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari during Operation Sindoor debate”, sheds light on the alleged snub, which has left many within the party questioning the leadership’s decision.
According to the report, Tewari and Tharoor were part of the all-party delegation on Operation Sindoor, a special session of Parliament convened to discuss the government’s response to the ongoing pandemic. However, despite their presence, neither of the two MPs was allowed to speak during the debate, raising eyebrows within the party.
The report suggests that Tewari and Tharoor had expressed support for the government’s efforts to combat the pandemic, which may have led to their “benching” by the party. The article highlights the unusual move, stating that it is unprecedented for the Congress to sideline its own MPs, especially during a critical debate.
Tewari’s cryptic post on social media has sparked a flurry of reactions, with many interpreting the song’s lyrics as a message of defiance and loyalty to the country. Some have seen the post as a subtle jab at the party leadership, hinting that the MP may be expressing his disagreement with the decision to bench him and Tharoor.
The timing of Tewari’s post is significant, coming as it does in the midst of the party’s internal struggles and power tussles. The Congress has been grappling with issues of leadership and infighting, with some factions within the party questioning the leadership’s decision-making process.
Tewari, a senior leader and former Union Minister, has been a vocal critic of the party’s leadership in the past. His cryptic post has sparked speculation about his future within the party, with some suggesting that he may be considering a move away from the Congress.
Tharoor, another senior MP and former Union Minister, has been a vocal advocate for the party’s values and principles. His exclusion from the debate has raised questions about the party’s stance on issues related to governance and leadership.
The incident has also sparked a debate about the role of opposition parties during a crisis. While the Congress has been critical of the government’s handling of the pandemic, some have questioned the party’s ability to effectively hold the government accountable.
As the debate rages on, Tewari’s cryptic post has become a subject of intense speculation. While the MP has not explicitly stated what message he is trying to convey, his post has sent a clear signal to party loyalists and political enthusiasts alike: the Congress must rethink its approach to leadership and decision-making.
