PM Modi’s taunt on Congress (PM Modi) 

New Delhi: During the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi   (PM Modi)   strongly retaliated against the Congress and the PM not only reminded the opposition of old things but also exposed the internal conflict of the party. Taking a dig at the Congress, PM Modi said that some leaders of the party have been banned from speaking in Parliament. Not only this, some people also object to praising India. His statement is being seen as a recent disagreement with Shashi Tharoor’s party. The PM has appealed to the Congress leaders not to speak against the country under the pressure of a family.

The PM said, “The sad and surprising thing is that those who consider themselves big leaders of the Congress are surprised as to why India’s point of view was presented to the world. Perhaps some leaders have been stopped from speaking in the House.” Tharoor’s comments immediately drew attention in Parliament to Shashi Tharoor, whose growing distance from the Congress high command was captured on camera.

Congress and Tharoor’s Growing Distance

The Congress did not stop Tharoor from joining government-led delegations abroad as part of Operation Sindoor, but did not nominate him to any official party role in the effort. However, the central government invited him to lead delegations to the United States and other countries, a move that deepened the existing tension between Tharoor and the party leadership. His subsequent open praise of the government’s handling of Operation Sindoor further strained the relationship.

Tharoor and Manish Tewari’s Silence

Amid speculations about whether Tharoor would be allowed to speak in the debate on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, Tharoor maintained silence. He also maintained silence after Prime Minister Modi’s speech in Parliament. When asked by media persons about the apparent reference made by PM Modi to him, Tharoor said, “Many people would be willing to speak to the press. Not me.”

Earlier, former Union minister and Congress MP from Chandigarh Manish Tewari, who stayed out of the main debate despite being part of the Operation Sindoor campaign abroad, wrote a cryptic post on Twitter:

“Hai preet jahan ki reet sada, main geet wahan ke gaata hun, Bharat ka rehne wala hun, Bharat ki baat sunata hun. Jai Hind.”

When asked about it, he replied simply: “There is a saying in English, ‘If you don’t understand my silence, you will never understand my words.’
