Shashi Tharoor Criticizes PM Modi’s Speech and Praises Rahul Gandhi’s Debut in Lok Sabha

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech in the Rajya Sabha, stating that it mainly focused on praising his own government and attacking the Congress party. Tharoor expressed disappointment that the speech did not address important issues like unemployment, inflation, and the India-China border situation.

Tharoor also praised Rahul Gandhi’s debut speech as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, noting that it was a strong critique of the BJP government and their ideology of Hindutva. He emphasized that Gandhi’s speech had a significant impact on other Parliamentarians.

Tharoor raised concerns about the new criminal laws that came into effect on July 1, which were passed without proper discussion. He also commented on the ongoing NEET-UG controversy, stressing the need for a discussion on the matter to protect the future of students.
