TIL Desk/National/Thiruvananthapuram/ Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has plunged headlong into a fresh row with remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi donning ‘outlandish’ Naga and other headgear on his trips but refusing to sport a Muslim skull cap, comments the Bharatiya Janata Party dubbed as insulting to the people of the northeast.
Union ministers on Monday slammed Tharoor for his remarks, saying it was an insult to the Northeast and reflected the opposition party’s mindset towards the region. Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju also demanded that the Congress apologise for Tharoor’s comments.
“I ask you why does our prime minister wear all sorts of outlandish headgear wherever he goes around the country or around the world? Why does he always refuse to wear a Muslim skull cap?
“You see him in Naga headgears with feathers. You have seen him in various kinds of extraordinary outfits which is a right thing for a prime minister to do. Indira Gandhi has also been photographed wearing various kinds of costumes. But why he still always says no to one?” Tharoor said.
