After Shashi Tharoor cited national interests to justify his participation, MP Manish Tewari also cited “the appeal of the state” to explain his decision to join the Indian delegation to participate in the global decision against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Congressional leaders failed to successfully prevent two members of Congress from joining the delegation, and Lop Rahul Gandhi proposed four alternative names. The government rejected the congressional list and, in addition to the original choice, accepted Anand Sharma.
Tewari released a edit of the patriotic song of the 1975 film Aakraman, sung by Kishore Kumar, with his message highlighted on X. He wrote: “Kishore Kumar, the song for the movie Aakraman (1975), sang for Rajesh Khanna.
“ Dekho Veer Jawanon Apne Khoon Pe yeh Ilzaam na aaye,
Maa na Kahe Ke Mere Bete Waqt Pada to Kaam na aaye. ”
The fighting congress
Meanwhile, Congressional leaders have no control over the choice of government or their own members of Congress, which becomes a struggle. Party spokesman Jairam Ramesh claimed that the prime minister was forced to “force to send a full-party delegation” after a decade of “abuse” of the opposition, calling it “a temporary, hypocritical and opportunistic two-party system”.
