WILL SHASHI THAROOR SPEAK ABOUT OPERATION SINDOOR?

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor silence is making more noise than words

He declined party’s offer to participate debate on Operation Sindoor. As the Lok Sabha prepares for an intense three-day debate on Operation Sindoor, speculation is swirling around the absence of two high-profile Congress MPs — Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari — from the party’s speakers’ list. Despite playing a prominent role in India’s global outreach following the operation, both leaders are unlikely to speak in Parliament on the issue.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, when asked by reporters this morning whether he would address the House during the debate, cryptically replied, “Maunvrat , maunvrat…” (vow of silence). Sources within the Congress claim Tharoor was asked to participate in the debate but declined.

Interestingly, sources indicate that Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla may still extend an invitation to Shashi Tharoor to speak during the debate.
