Shashi Tharoor the Congress leader is hopeful that the Congress would come to power in the country. On PM Modi’s remarks that Congress is an enemy of minorities, Mr Tharoor said that Congress and INDIA bloc believe in politics of inclusion.
“There is a new story from PM every day. First, he told us that we wanted to take away everyone’s Mangalsutra and give it to the minorities and now we have become the enemies of minorities.
We stand for everybody, INDIA bloc and Congress believe in the politics of inclusion,” Tharoor added further.
Refuting the claims made by Union Minister Anurag Thakur that “Priyanka Gandhi never stood in support of women”, Tharoor said that the BJP does not have a good track record when it comes to defending the rights of women in the country.
“That’s not true, Priyanka Gandhi has been active. You can see going back to Nirbhaya tragedy, all the other things that had happened, she had been a strong voice.
I don’t think the BJP has much to say or stand up that they claim to be better at coming up with slogans than us, but they are much worse at actually putting them into action, as we have demonstrated.
Let’s look at the Beti Bachao slogan, where do they stand on this? I would like to hear from them about their achievements in addressing violence against women and the misogynistic behavior of their leaders.
This party does not have a good track record when it comes to women’s rights in our country Tharoor said .”
