Shashi Tharoor Jaipur Literature Festival

The BJP government has successfully reduced Parliament to a "notice board and a rubber stamp", Congress MP Shashi Tharoor alleged at the Jaipur Literature Festival today.

Congress Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor today defended his stance against making Hindi an official language at the United Nations, saying the move would not be of any help to leaders who cannot speak the language.

While Mr Tharoor was in the Pink City for the Jaipur Literature Festival, Salman, who looked extremely weary, was probably on his way back from Mandawa where he had been shooting for his upcoming film Bajrangi Bhaijaan

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is in Jaipur to take part in the literature festival (LitFest) in conversation with writer Amrita Tripathi and economist Mihir Sharma.
