BJP lashes out at Shashi Tharoor for criticising Sushma Swaraj’s speech at UNGA

Date:

Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday attacked the senior leader of Congress, Shashi Tharoor for criticising Minister of External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj on her UNGA speech. Tharoor said that her speech was ‘disappointing’ and her speech was only to ‘appease the ruling party’s voters’.

“Today, Rahul Gandhi’s Congress has lost the moral right to claim the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi’s Congress,” BJP spokesman Sudhanshu Trivedi said at a press conference. “We would want Gandhi to apologise for Tharoor’s remarks.”

However, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala was quick to target the BJP. “For those in power, Mahatma Gandhi’s thought is just a lip service. Those in power murder Gandhi’s thought. They swear by Gandhi only for optics and photo-op,” he said in Wardha.

Sushma Swaraj in her speech said that India had made many efforts to hold talks with Pakistan and the only reason they called off dialogue is because of Pakistan’s behaviour with Indian soldiers and that they glorify terrorists and make their stamps.

“Swaraj’s speech at the UNGA was India’s statement and not that of any political party,” Trivedi said. “Entire nation wants India to talk tough against Pakistan. Which force in the country wants India to take a soft line towards Pakistan?”
