Shashi Tharoor on Rahul Gandhi's Protest: 'It Was a Symbolic Gesture'

In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor defended Rahul Gandhi's decision to protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence amid the ongoing NEET paper leak controversy.

Responding to BJP's criticism that the protest violated security norms and set a dangerous precedent, Tharoor argued that the Opposition had been repeatedly denied a meaningful discussion in Parliament. He said the march to the Prime Minister's residence was a symbolic attempt to draw the government's attention after repeated adjournment notices and demands for a debate were ignored.
