News India Live, Digital Desk: Often we see that when Parliament is in session, there is less debate and more ruckus. The job of the opposition is to corner the government, but in the process of cornering it, many times the Parliament becomes a ‘fish market’.

Today (December 5) something happened in Parliament which caught everyone’s attention. Senior Congress leader and MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor Known for his scholarship and English. But today he is in the news for ‘teaching a lesson’ to his own colleagues.

What happened after all?
Winter session of Parliament is going on. Opposition MPs in the Lok Sabha (especially Congress members) were opposing the government on some issue. They were shouting slogans loudly and creating ruckus in the well.
The noise was so much that no one could be heard.

Seeing all this, Shashi Tharoor’s patience ran out. He said something which might have hurt many opposition leaders, but was very important for democracy.

What did Tharoor say?
Expressing his displeasure in clear words, Shashi Tharoor said: We have not come to Parliament to raise slogans or shout. We have been sent here to discuss and debate issues. That’s our job.”

His signal was clear that if we just make noise, then when will we raise public issues? Tharoor said that he wants to discuss, but the uproar between his own party and the opposition is hindering it. His statement shows that it is necessary to protest, but not by bringing down the dignity of Parliament.

praise on social media
This stand of Tharoor is becoming very viral on social media. People are saying that I wish other leaders also think like this. The public elects its representatives and sends them there so that they can solve their problems and not wave posters.

Will Congress learn?
Shashi Tharoor is often known for talking ‘out of the box’. Sometimes he seems to be different from his own party’s line, but his words are logical. Now it has to be seen whether his ‘class’ has any impact on the other MPs or will the same ‘noise’ continue from tomorrow?
