When Shashi Tharoor praised PM Modi, why did BJP say- now we need new people to hate…

Congress veteran and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor recently praised the Modi government’s stand on the Russia-Ukraine war. BJP has taunted Congress over this. BJP said that ‘Prime Minister now needs new haters as the old ones are becoming his fans.’ BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya shared a video of Tharoor’s statement on Twitter. In this, he wrote, ‘Prime Minister Modi needs new haters, the old ones are becoming his fans.’

BJP surrounded Congress on the pretext of Tharoor

BJP leader Sambit Patra also took a dig at Congress and said that Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi should come forward and appreciate Tharoor’s stand on the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Patra said that Tharoor understands diplomacy. He has been in the United Nations (UN) for a long time. He has appreciated PM Modi’s stand in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Other Congress leaders should also learn from Shashi Tharoor instead of speaking against PM Modi and the country every time. Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi should come forward and appreciate Shashi Tharoor’s stand.

What did Tharoor say after all…

Actually, during a panel discussion at the Raisina Dialogue, Shashi Tharoor admitted that he had made a mistake by criticizing India’s diplomatic policy earlier. Tharoor said that I am realizing my mistake because I was the same person who criticized India’s stand in Parliament in February 2022. However, now after three years, Tharoor realized that India’s policy was right. India has done the right thing by maintaining friendship with both the countries.

The matter is related to the Russia-Ukraine war

Tharoor explained his old point and said that I had talked about the violation of the UN Charter. Ukraine’s sovereignty was violated. We have always raised our voice against protecting the borders and resolving international disputes with force. All these principles were violated, so we should have condemned it.

He further said that but after three years I feel that I was wrong. India’s policy has ensured that our Prime Minister can embrace both the President of Ukraine and Russia and is welcomed in both places. Therefore, India can help establish peace, which very few countries can do.

BJP was happy when Tharoor praised the Modi government

BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad also welcomed Tharoor’s statement. He said that the decisions of the Modi government are in the interest of the country. Ravi Shankar Prasad said that he feels that the comments made by Tharoor on the Russia-Ukraine war were not correct. The policies of the Indian government were right. Better late than never. The decisions of the Modi government are in the interest of the country, the way Shashi Tharoor has accepted it, other Congress leaders should also do the same. At the same time, Tharoor’s latest statement has intensified the discussion in the political corridors. Many people are considering it as a sign of changing views within the Congress, while the BJP is seeing it as a victory of its policies.
