Tharoor tweets again: Why's Gandhi Jayanti a holiday?

NDTV Correspondent, Friday October 2, 2009, New Delhi

On Gandhi Jayanti, which is a national holiday, seems like Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor is tweeting into another controversy.

His latest words on micro-blogging site Twitter are, "Gandhiji said 'Work is Worship', and we enjoy holiday on his birthday. He would have wanted us to work harder today."

I think what he says is meaningful. Gandhi would not have wanted us to declare it a holiday. So, why the controversy. The leaders should think about it and not make an issue out of it.

Well.. I feel what he said is sensible. Moreover it is his thought. Why should there be a controversy?
