Parliamentarian and author Shashi Tharoor in his address said his idea of India is a country where Indians should be allowed what to eat and who to love.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor spoke at length on 'Ambedkar and Inclusion' and said his idea of India is a country where Indians should be allowed what to eat and who to love. He said that my idea of India is where people will not tear anyone apart over bad history.

He was speaking at the India Today Conclave 2023 at the Taj Palace in Delhi.

India's inclusion nowadays is profoundly anti-Hindu, he said.

Congress MP's latest book Ambedkar: A Life was recently launched, which adds a new perspective to one of India’s most revered icons.


India Today Conclave 2023: BJP I must say is brilliant at politics: Shashi Tharoor

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said Rahul Gandhi is not going to apologise for his remarks he made on foreign soil. The former Union minister said the BJP is brilliant at politics.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, while addressing the India Today Conclave, admired the BJP, saying that the saffron party is brilliant at politics. He was replying to a question about whether Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should apologise for the remarks he made in the UK, which has become the latest flashpoint between the BJP and the Congress.

"The BJP, I must say, is brilliant at politics. They blamed Rahul Gandhi for something he never said," the former Union Minister said.

"He is not going to apologise. If anyone has to apologise about talking about politics, then it has to be Modi first who spoke like this on foreign land," the Congress MP said.

Rahul Gandhi did not say anything anti-national, he added.

Rahul Gandhi is under fire for his remarks made in London that the structures of Indian democracy are under “brutal attack” and there is a full-scale assault on the institutions of the country.
