Subramanian Swamy: Society should blacklist Shashi Tharoor

New Delhi, Aug 7 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday assaulted Congress leader Shashi Tharoor for criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his "dislike" towards the Muslim people group and said that the society should boycott such people.

"I am not surprised as his is entire Anglo-Indian culture - those ill-conceived kids who are conceived here from British officers. That sort of culture. They think it is entertaining. It's okay in a bar with the Lutyens swarm. Be that as it may, we are wistful individuals and esteem our way of life," Swamy told.

"We respect each other's sub-culture. Nagas and North-East have a sub-culture inside the overall framework of the Indian culture. To ridicule their headgear or their dress is off-base. Be that as it may, this man is as yet living previously. The general public should boycott him. He is out on safeguard. He ought to be more cautious," he included.

Tharoor, while addressing a seminar in Thiruvananthapuram, prior stated: "For what reason does our Prime Minister, who wears all sorts of outlandish headgears wherever he circumvents the nation and around the globe, dependably declines to wear a Muslim skull top?

"You see him in hilarious Naga headgears and feathers. You see him in different sorts of phenomenal outfits, which is a correct thing for a Prime Minister to do. Indira Gandhi has also been captured wearing different sorts of outfits. In any case, why he generally says no to one?" he included.

Tharoor's comments were strongly condemned by several BJP leaders.

Union Minister of State (MoS) for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Monday requested an expression of remorse from the Congress Party for the same.

Echoing similar views, BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav stated that Tharoor should figure out how to regard all traditions.

However, Tharoor cleared up that his remark was an observation and there was no need spark outrage over it.
