Tharoor to attend Mumbai event where RSS chief will have ‘session with Gen Z’? He clarifies
Tharoor clarified that the programme was not an RSS event and was instead a student-led initiative involving educationists and thought leaders.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor will participate in the final two days of an upcoming Mumbai event, where Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat is set to interact with Generation Z students from over 100 cities on August 6. This outreach by the RSS, which is the parent organization of the ruling BJP, comes after recent student protests at Jantar Mantar forced the government into a challenging position.
Tharoor responded to a social media query about his attendance at an event "organised by RSS" by clarifying that the programme was student-led. Tharoor, a board member of the India's International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) organizing the event, stated that he will chair their Board meeting and events on the 7th and 8th. Mr. Bhagwat is scheduled to meet the students on the 6th while Tharoor is in Delhi for Parliament.
