Shashi Tharoor Encouraging Anti India Elements
The dress code to enforced in Schools and colleges has become a big row in Karnataka and the Karnataka High Court is hearing the Case However some countriex have tried to poke their nose into our internal affairs. So our Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday reiterated its stand once again on subject of the simmering dress code row by these countries, saying comments by outsiders on internal issues will not be acceptable.
However our own Member of Parliament who are supposed to be Honourable Men has proved otherwise. The Indian Embassy in Kuwait on Friday slammed Congress MP Shashi Tharoor for retweeting what it said was an “anti-India tweet” by a “Pakistani agent”, and asserted that such anti-India elements should not be encouraged.
Mr Tharoor retweeted a tweet which claimed that a group of “powerful” Kuwaiti parliamentarians have demanded from the government of Kuwait to put an immediate ban on the entry of any member of the ruling BJP of India into Kuwait.
Tharoor tweeted :
“Most unseemly for MEA to summon the HC of a friendly country like Singapore over some remarks by their PM to their own Parliament: https://t.co/vbHN69YTJa
He was making a general (& largely accurate) point. Given the stuff our own pols utter, we must learn to be less thin-skinned— Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) February 18, 2022
The tweet further said, “We can’t sit back and watch Muslim girls being publicly persecuted they said. Time for the Ummah to unite.”
This drew a sharp response from the Indian Embassy in Kuwait.
“Sad to see an Hon’ble Member of Indian Parliament retweeting an anti-India tweet by a Pakistani agent who was recipient of a Pakistani Award ‘Ambassador of Peace’ for his anti-India activities,” the Indian Embassy in Kuwait tweeted. Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi also retweeted the Indian Embassy tweet
Referring to the tweet, Mr Tharoor said on Twitter, “Domestic actions have international repercussions. I hear from friends across the Gulf of their dismay at rising Islamophobia in India & the PM’s unwillingness to condemn it, let alone act decisively against it. ‘We like India. But don’t make it so hard for us to be your friends’.”
Hitting out at Mr Tharoor, the Indian Embassy in Kuwait, from its official Twitter handle, said, “Sad to see an Hon’ble Member of Indian Parliament retweeting an anti-India tweet by a Pakistani agent who was recipient of a Pakistani Award ‘Ambassador of Peace’ for his anti-India activities. We should not encourage such anti-India elements.”
Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi also retweeted the Indian Embassy tweet.
