In the latest display of internal discord, Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury responded to concerns following the exclusion of party colleagues Manish Tewari and Shashi Tharoor from the speaker's list for a parliamentary debate on Operation Sindoor, a critical military campaign.
Addressing the media, Chowdhury emphasized that Parliament operates under a structured system ensuring equal speaking opportunities. Her comments came after Tewari's cryptic tweet sparked speculation. The tweet referenced a media report pointing out the notable absences in the debate lineup, while Tewari himself remained enigmatic, quoting an adage about the significance of silence.
Tewari and Tharoor, who were involved in briefing foreign governments about the operation and Pakistan's alleged terror links, were omitted from the debate roster. Sources suggest that Tharoor's views could clash with the party's stance. When questioned, Tharoor also chose a cryptic response, repeating 'Maunvrat', or 'vow of silence'.
