Shashi Tharoor becomes alone for his “cattle class” remarks
New Delhi: All the ministers of the country are playing their bit to support the Austerity drive, however Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor remarked about traveling in economy class as “cattle class”. The comment made by Tharoor is disapproved by the Congress by all means.
The Congress says it is very insensitive for Tharoor to make such a statement as thousands of people travel economy class everyday across the nation. The Congress also said it is for the High Command to decide whether disciplinary action will be taken against Tharoor or any clarification will be sought from him.
“We totally condemn it (Tharoor’s comments). The statement is not in sync with our political culture. His remarks are not acceptable given the sensitivity of all Indians,” AICC Spokesperson Jayanti Natarajan said. “Certainly the party does not endorse it. It is absolutely insensitive. We find it unacceptable and totally insensitive,” she added.
Tharoor made a comment on Twitter, the social networking site, landing in another fresh controversy.
