Congress Benches Tewari and Tharoor in Operation Sindoor Debate

Congress MP Manish Tewari evoked an iconic Bollywood song as he shared a report on being benched during the Operation Sindoor debate. Intense speculation surrounded whether Tewari and Shashi Tharoor would speak in the Lok Sabha. Tharoor declined to speak, opting to discuss the Indian Ports Bill, 2025.

In a surprising turn of events, Congress MP Manish Tewari, referencing a song from the film 'Purab Aur Paschim', revealed his sidelining during the Operation Sindoor debate in a social media post.

Speculation had been rife about whether Tewari and his colleague Shashi Tharoor would voice their insights in the parliamentary debate amidst claims of their support for government actions post-Pahalgam attack.

Tharoor, declining to engage in the debate, expressed a preference to discuss the forthcoming Indian Ports Bill, further fueling discussions on Congress's internal dynamics.
