Congress’ Manish Tewari Shares Article on Party Snubbing Him & Tharoor, Writes Cryptic Post
The recent debate on Operation Sindoor in the Indian Parliament has been marred by controversy, with Congress MP Manish Tewari taking to social media to express his discontent with the party’s decision to bench him and fellow MP Shashi Tharoor during the debate. In a cryptic post, Tewari shared a song with the lyrics “Bharat ka rehne waala hoon, Bharat ki baat sunata hoon- Jai Hind” which roughly translates to “I am the one who will live in India, I will listen to India’s voice- Victory to India.” He also shared an article titled “‘Spoke in favour of govt’: Why Congress benched Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari during Operation Sindoor debate.”
The article, which was published on a popular news website, revealed that Tewari and Tharoor were not allowed to participate in the debate on Operation Sindoor, despite having been part of the all-party delegation on the issue. The two MPs had reportedly spoken in favor of the government’s decision to conduct the operation, which led to their benching.
Tewari’s cryptic post has sparked a lot of speculation about the reasons behind the party’s decision to bench him and Tharoor. Many have interpreted the post as a message of defiance against the party leadership, with some even suggesting that Tewari may be considering leaving the Congress.
Operation Sindoor, which was conducted by the Indian Army, was aimed at flushing out Pakistan-backed terrorists from the Kashmir Valley. The operation was widely praised by the public, with many hailing the bravery of the Indian soldiers. However, the debate on the operation in Parliament was marked by controversy, with some opposition parties criticizing the government’s handling of the situation.
Tewari, who has been a vocal critic of the opposition’s stance on national security issues, had been expected to participate in the debate. However, his absence from the debate was met with surprise, with many wondering if he had been deliberately benched by the party leadership.
The article shared by Tewari suggests that the party’s decision to bench him and Tharoor was due to their decision to speak in favor of the government’s operation. The article quotes sources as saying that the party leadership was unhappy with the two MPs’ decision to support the government, and decided to bench them as a result.
The controversy has once again highlighted the internal rifts within the Congress party, with some MPs feeling that the party is not giving them a free hand to express their opinions on national security issues. The party has been facing criticism for its handling of national security issues, with some accusing it of being soft on Pakistan and failing to take a strong stance against terrorism.
Tewari’s cryptic post has set off a lot of speculation about his future in the party. While some have interpreted the post as a message of defiance against the party leadership, others have suggested that it may be a sign of his growing frustration with the party’s handling of national security issues.
It remains to be seen how the party will respond to Tewari’s post and whether he will continue to be a part of the party. One thing is certain, however – the controversy has once again brought the internal rifts within the Congress party to the forefront, and it will be interesting to see how the party responds to the crisis.
