Sashi Tharoor – the unholy cow

On his page on the micro-blogging site Twitter, Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor was asked, “Tell us minister, next time you travel to Kerala, will it be cattle class?”

His reply: “Absolutely, in cattle class out of solidarity with all our holy cows.”

Reacting to Sashi’s remaks, Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said -”The party strongly disapproves the statement of the minister. It is unacceptable, not respecting political or any other sensibilities,”

I pity Jayanthi for her acute lack of “sense of humor”. While Sonia’s remarks on bunking politics at Infosys campus drew applause, Sashi sarcasm is being rediculed. The congress saviour’s are more concerned that Sonia and Rahul have been called cows.

The hypocracy in Congress cannot be more blunt. Congress may continue as a heriditary unicentral party, but India as a nation need not be so. Good one Sashi.
