Ahmedabad. Friday, February 04, 2022

Jyotiraditya Scindia and Shashi Tharoor, who have been allies of the same party in the past, are seen today opposing each other over the use of Hindi language. Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia answered the question in English in Hindi. Thiruvananthapuram Congress MP Shashi Tharoor called it an "insult".

Supplementary questions were asked in English by the members of Tamil Nadu to which the Union Minister replied in Hindi. Shashi Tharoor then immediately remarked that the minister's reply in Hindi was "insulting".

"The minister speaks English, he should answer in English," Tharoor said. Don't answer in Hindi, this is an insult to the people. '

Annoyed at this, Jyotiraditya Scindia said, "It was strange for a member to make such a comment." 'If I speak in Hindi, there is a problem, it is a disaster. There was also a translator in the house. '

Immediately after Shashi Tharoor's remarks, Speaker Om Birla said, "This is not an insult."
