BJP focuses on Congress
The absence of Mr. Tharoor from the list of speakers, however, was used by the leader of BJP Baijayant Jay Panda to kick himself at the congress in his speech.
“There are several leaders in your (congress) side who can speak well … My friend Shashi Tharoorji, who is a good speaker, must not speak his party,” Mr. Panda said, adding that Mr. Tharoor “previously spoke in the interest of the country”.
A member of the BJP of Odish’s constituency KENDRAPAR claimed that the approach of the governments of Congress in the past was only to increase cooperation with Pakistan and not to retaliate and to teach them a lesson.
Mr. Panda, who led one of the seven delegations of more parties to tell the Indian message of zero tolerance against terrorism in May, claiming that the Sindoor operation was an attack on terrorists in Pakistan and not civilians.
“It is not a reaction, it is a modi doctrine that Pakistan understood … it’s a new normal,” he said, adding that it was shameful that the opposition had only questioned the Indian armed forces and not Pakistan.
