Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday slammed the Centre over the Nagaland ambush issue and said that there should have been a discussion in the House but Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister had refrained from taking any questions.

What Tharoor said speaking to ANI?

Speaking to ANI, Tharoor said, “We should have had a discussion. Home Minister and Defence Minister should have addressed the House and listened to what House has to say. Instead, you gave a very short statement and walked away without taking questions. This is why the Congress party walked out in protest.”

He further spoke about the Nagaland ambush, in which Tharoor said, “First of all, why did this happen? Second, what kind of intelligence structure do we have when such a faulty piece of information can lead to the loss of so many innocent lives. Third, why was it necessary to fire without taking normal interrogative action? These are the questions to which no answers were given.”

Shashi Tharoor has his to say on controversial AFSPA

Amid demands on the revocation of the contentious Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) from the northeast, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said that there should not be a perception that under the act, security forces can act with impunity.

He said “In a state where the Govt claims to be engaged in very successful peace talks, look at the kind of condition they have reduced the state to today. In our Congress party manifesto, we had said that AFSPA has to be reviewed. We can’t afford to let it be perceived by people as something that allows security forces to act with impunity.”
