‘Thanks for teaching youngsters’: Tharoor takes dig at PM Modi, shares 2015 tweet

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday by sharing a 2015 tweet from the PM, which discussed his experiences during the Emergency. Tharoor highlighted the parallels between Modi's tweet and the current situation in Delhi, where police have been cracking down on protesters demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner.

The Congress leader shared Modi's tweet on X, remarking, "Thanks for teaching today's youngsters many of the same lessons, Modiji!" The tweet from 2015 stated that Modi viewed the Emergency as a formative period during which he learned valuable lessons. Tharoor had already criticized the government over the recent restrictions, describing the situation as "war-like" and questioning the integrity of elections.
