New Delhi: the recent praise of Shashi Tharoor to the Modi government for his position on the Russia-Ukraine War On Wednesday, he gave a new ammunition to the Bharatiya Janata party, who made fun of Congress on Wednesday saying that the prime minister “needs new enemies”, since “the old people are becoming their fans.”
BJP It Head Amit Malviya took Twitter to share a clip of Tharoor’s comment and wrote: “Prime Minister Modi needs new enemies … The old people are becoming their fans.”
Sambit Patra of BJP also took a mockery in Congress and said that Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi should present themselves and appreciate Tharoor’s position on the position of India in the Ukraine-Russian conflict.
“Shashi Tharoor understands diplomacy, he had been in the UN for a long time. He has appreciated the position of Prime Minister Modi in the conflict of Russia-Ukraine. Other leaders of the congress should also learn from Shashi Tharoor instead of speaking against Prime Minister Modi and the nation each time … Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi should come and appreciate the stand of Shashi Tharroor, “says the stand,”.
During a discussion panel on Tuesday in Raisina’s dialogue, Shashi Tharoor acknowledged having to “clean the egg” after initially criticizing the diplomatic position of India in the Russian-Ukraine War. He admitted that the country’s approach finally positioned him uniquely as a friend for both nations at war.
“I am still cleaning the egg of my face because I was a person in the parliamentary debate that really criticized the Indian position at that time in February 2022,” Tharoor admitted.
Explaining his previous position, he said, “because of the very worn [Norway’s Foreign Minister] He will understand, since he and I discuss this during my UN days: there was a violation of the UN Charter, the sovereignty of a Member State, namely Ukraine, and we had always defended the principle of the inviolability of the borders and the inadmissibility of the use of force to resolve international disputes. All those principles had been violated by a party, and we should have condemned it. “
Reflecting on the result, he added: “Well, three years later, it seems that I am the one I have egg in my face because, clearly, India’s policy has assured that our prime minister can embrace both the president of Ukraine and the president of Moscow with only two weeks of difference and still be accepted in both places. As a result, India is now in a position to contribute to a hard peace in forms that very few countries can be able in many countries.” “
The BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad also welcomed Tharoor’s comment and added that the decisions taken by the Modi government are in favor of the nation.
“He thinks that the statements he made regarding the Russian-Ukraine war in the past were not correct. Indian government policies were right … better late than ever … decisions taken by the Modi government are in favor of the nation … the way in which Shashi Tharoor has admitted, other leaders of the congress should do the same,” Prasad told Ani.
