Shashi Tharoor: “I think that is an unnecessary imposition.”

That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death.

I honestly think that this is an unnecessary imposition by the central government of having to listen to all five verses every time.

It may ultimately have to be adjudicated because there is no law passed by Parliament requiring this. It is more a matter of convention.

Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?
