Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, has slammed the BJP for their protest outside parliament against the opposition parties who are protesting the suspension of 12 Rajya Sabha MP’s.
Speaking to ANI , Tharoor said It was needlessly provocative of the BJP MPs to come here & rub salt in the wounds. If anything BJP should’ve shown solidarity. My colleagues were unjustly expelled by a party that has institutionalised disruption.
Later on, Tharoor while speaking to ANI alleged that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act ‘fundamentally anti-national’, and the act targets a particular community.
“I spoke in Parlament when the CAA came up. I objected to the Home Minister. Any law that is seen targetting any community is fundamentally anti-national. They (Centre) should not proceed with it. I welcome the fact that for two years they have not yet written the rules or implemented the law” said Tharoor, the three – time Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
“I hope they will think very long and hard before doing anything so foolish. It will needlessly divide the country. I will urge the government not to recklessly endanger the social harmony of the country,” he added.
