Sashi Tharoor has tried to show India from a very bad point of view.
00:09
In that Pakistan, in that Lahore, Sashi Tharoor is saying that India is treating its Muslims with cruelty and is being biased.
00:20
We are not behaving well with the people of North East. India is not able to manage anything.
00:30
Sashi Tharoor has tried to show India from a very bad point of view.
00:35
In that Pakistan, in that Lahore, Sashi Tharoor is saying that India is treating its Muslims with cruelty and is being biased.
00:43
We are not behaving well with the people of North East. India is not able to manage anything.
00:50
We are not behaving well with the people of North East.
00:55
I have heard what Sashi Tharoor said in Lahore.
01:05
And what I have heard, I still cannot believe that an Indian MP, a right hand of Gandhi family,
01:15
Rahul Gandhi's and Sonia Gandhi's great friend and a great leader of Congress,
01:22
can say such a statement in Lahore Literature Festival,
01:27
while addressing the Pakistanis and on a platform which is being observed by the whole world,
01:33
can say such a statement against India.
01:36
I have brought the verbatim of Sashi Tharoor, what he has said.
01:41
The media has also narrated.
01:43
But whatever Sashi Tharoor has said, he has not only made a joke of India,
01:48
but has also tried to show India from a very bad point of view,
01:52
and in a very dim light, dimmed India in a way.
01:56
Sashi Tharoor has tried to show India from a very bad point of view.
02:02
Friends, Sashi Tharoor has said first, and I would like to say this in English only,
02:08
because he may not be able to understand Hindi well.
02:10
Whatever he has said in English, I will say that only.
02:14
First, government in India is not doing well,
02:18
and people realize that they are not doing well,
02:21
in terms of managing COVID.
02:24
But the polls suggest, the pollsters have not hit them politically as it should.
02:31
This COVID time is going on,
02:33
and the Indian government is failing in COVID management.
02:38
And the polls that you do, the Indian media,
02:41
which you are our fourth pillar,
02:43
you are showing that the people are satisfied with Modi Ji's work.
02:50
Sashi Tharoor feels that these are false polls,
02:53
and the way Modi Ji should be attacked politically,
02:58
that is not happening.
03:00
That is why the opposition has to come forward and attack.
03:05
The whole world is watching this COVID.
03:08
How India has kept itself safe under the leadership of Narendra Modi,
03:14
how the lockdown was implemented on time,
03:17
how the work of distributing food to 80 crore people was done,
03:21
and that work will continue till the sixth mountain,
03:24
how the highest recovery and lowest mortality,
03:27
if it is in the whole world, then it is in India,
03:31
how the work of distributing hydroxychloroquine to 150 countries,
03:36
was done by the government of India under the leadership of Modi Ji,
03:39
despite this, to give such a statement that the Indian government has failed,
03:44
that too in Lahore,
03:46
you think, what kind of mentality is of Congress Party,
03:49
and Rahul Gandhi Ji's best friend, Sashi Tharoor Ji.
03:54
The second big statement that Sashi Tharoor Ji made in this virtual conference,
04:00
that is,
04:02
in India we have problem with our North East citizens who look different.
04:08
Our North East Indians,
04:12
they look different from us.
04:15
That is why in India,
04:17
there is a different attitude towards the people of North East,
04:23
and good treatment is not given to them.
04:27
What is the need to discuss all this in Pakistan?
04:30
You all know,
04:32
why should there be any inequality in India?
04:35
There is no other country in this world as democratic and as just as India.
04:40
More than India,
04:42
justice,
04:44
looking at everyone equally,
04:46
caring for everyone,
04:49
and such a democratic country, I say,
04:52
is nowhere in the whole world.
04:54
In spite of this,
04:56
you go and say,
04:58
North East Indians are being mistreated,
05:01
the Indian government is not treating them well.
05:04
You are saying this in Pakistan?
05:06
It is a shame.
05:08
And the third topic is such,
05:10
which makes you bow your head in shame,
05:14
that an Indian politician, an MP,
05:18
can give such a statement?
05:20
And I repeat,
05:23
the bigotry and prejudice
05:26
that some of us are trying to fight against in India,
05:29
against the Muslims,
05:31
because of the pandemic.
05:33
He says,
05:35
against the Muslims,
05:37
and he also mentions the Tablighi Jamaat here,
05:39
that the type of bigotry and prejudice against the Tablighi Jamaat,
05:45
i.e. kattarta,
05:47
and prejudice means pakshapat,
05:49
that the Indian government
05:51
is doing pakshapat against the Muslims,
05:53
and is showing kattarta against the Muslims.
05:57
This is what Shashi Tharoor is saying in Pakistan.
06:00
Shashi Tharoor ji,
06:02
Rahul Gandhi ji,
06:04
Sonia ji,
06:05
Priyanka Vadra ji,
06:07
I want to ask all four of you,
06:09
did you ever say this on any stage in Pakistan?
06:13
Did you dare to ask Pakistan,
06:16
how does Pakistan show kattarta,
06:19
how does it show violence and injustice,
06:22
against its minorities?
06:25
In Pakistan, you see what is happening with the Sikhs every day.
06:29
In Pakistan, through the media,
06:31
we get to know every day,
06:33
what is happening with the Hindus,
06:35
with the Christians,
06:37
with the Buddhists.
06:39
Abducting a girl,
06:41
forcing her to convert,
06:43
killing her,
06:45
this is a common thing in Pakistan.
06:47
In that Pakistan,
06:49
in that Lahore,
06:51
Shashi Tharoor is saying,
06:53
that India is showing kattarta
06:55
against its Muslims,
06:57
and is doing pakshapat.
06:59
What kind of statement is this?
07:01
What do these people want?
07:03
What does the Congress Party want?
07:05
Does it want to fight elections with Pakistan?
07:07
This kind of propaganda is happening there.
07:09
We are not behaving well with the people of North East.
07:12
India is not able to manage anything.
07:14
On top of that,
07:16
Shashi Tharoor is saying,
07:18
in that virtual meeting,
07:20
Rahul oughts to get the credits.
07:22
Rahul Gandhi is raising his voice against all this.
07:24
And the pollsters,
07:26
who are doing the poll survey,
07:28
are not giving credit.
07:30
The people are not giving credit.
07:32
Rahul Gandhi should be given credit.
07:34
Who? Pakistan will give credit to Rahul Gandhi.
07:36
This is what they want.
07:38
That Pakistan should give credit to Rahul Gandhi.
07:40
There is a fight for credit
07:42
of Rahul Gandhi in Pakistan.
07:44
Shashi Tharoor ji,
07:46
don't worry so much.
07:48
Rahul Gandhi has already become a hero
07:50
in China and Pakistan.
