Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has criticized the public service broadcaster, Doordarshan, for its decision to air the movie The Kerala Story, alleging that the film wants to show that Kerala is some sort of Pakistan.
The Opposition INDIA bloc faces rifts from Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal, AAP in Punjab and Haryana, and Nitish Kumar in Bihar, causing distress in keeping all allies together.
Shashi Tharoor stated that visiting the Ram Mandir should not be interpreted politically as it is a personal choice. The Congress MP said the Opposition leaders should not be branded anti-Hindu if they don t attend the consecration ceremony.
