There are no two entities who hate each other more than Congress and BJP.They have on
hated each other for years,picked on every fault and even taken each other to court.They
have essentially dragged each other to hell and back together.
But recently Shashi Tharoor,a member of the Indian National Congress,Congress's very own
Lincoln when it comes to giving speeches went on record to praise BJP's PM.Modi recent
meeting with Trump.
“We cannot always speak only in terms of party interest.
”
,he stated while praising Modi’s
actions regarding Tariffs -
“It's far better than Washington hastily and unilaterally imposing
tariffs on us, which could have hurt our exports. To my mind, something good has been
achieved, and I applaud that as an Indian. We can't always speak only in terms of party
interests. I am not a party spokesman.
" Emphasizing that Modi's visits had yielded some
positive outcomes for the Indian people.
He also noted PM Modi being the fourth world leader to meet Trump after he took office as
president,which showcases India's growing importance on the global stage.At the same
time, he pointed out that the visit was not all perfect and left some questions unanswered,
such as the issue of how illegal immigrants were returned to India which was not addressed.
When someone in government, whether from the Congress or any other party, does
something right, it should be acknowledged and praised. When they do something wrong, it
should be criticised,
" he said.
Tharoor emphasised his objective stance by saying,
"I have done both-I have praised and I
have criticised. In fairness, I base my stance on facts. That I believe is the right approach.
"
He added that consistently praising or criticising the government affects its credibility.
"If I
were to praise all the time, no one would take me seriously. If I were to criticise all the time,
no one would take me seriously either,
" he explained.
Mr Tharoor alluded to the importance of political parties fostering more tolerant bonds with
each-
"The real problem arises when the opposition believes everything the government does
is wrong, and when the government believes everything the opposition says is wrong,
" he
said.
"There has to be some give and take in a democracy,
" he added.
Tharoor has indeed proved himself unbiased as whether people are for or against modi we
can all agree that his diplomatic skills are on point.This is also an incredibly rare example of
a politician keeping the nation's interest above everything else,including his own party's.
