Udit Raj slams Tharoor
Congress leader Udit Raj hit out at party colleague Shashi Tharoor on Monday for his reported “no country has 100-per cent foolproof intelligence” remarks, wondering that being a Congressman, how did he become the BJP’s lawyer and was giving the ruling party a “clean chit” on the attack. Tharoor hit back at Raj, saying the latter is a former BJP MP and “is better qualified to understand who speaks for the BJP”. In a post on X, Raj said, “According to you Congress should guarantee foolproof intelligence to BJP and nothing should be asked of the BJP.”
“Shashi Tharoor said no country has 100 per cent foolproof intelligence? At the time of 26/11 Mumbai attack, Modi ji had said after reaching Mumbai from Gujarat that it is the failure of the central government. (PTI)
