THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Sharing visuals of the interaction between United States President Donald Trump and New York Mayor-designate Zohran Mamdani, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has once again stirred debate within political circles, subtly urging India to embrace post-election collaboration among political rivals.
Taking to his social media handle, Tharoor wrote: “This is how democracy should work. Fight passionately for your point of view in elections, with no rhetorical holds barred. But once it’s over, and the people have spoken, learn to cooperate with each other in the common interests of the nation you are both pledged to serve. I would love to see more of this in India -- and am trying to do my part."
Tharoor's remarks are seen as a continuation of his previous controversial statement in which he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech, despite the PM having sharply criticized the Congress at the time.
