Tharoor should be made 'Minister of Love Affairs: BJP

October 31, 2012 12:41

Taking a jibe at the newly-appointed Minister of State for HRD Shashi Tharoor over his comment against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi that "you need to be able to love someone to understand that", BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said Tharoor should be made Minister of Love Affairs.

Naqvi was reacting on Tharoor's reply to Modi for criticizing his wife during a public rally in Himachal Pradesh. "I think that it is not necessary to answer to all what he says. But I am very much impressed by his answer in which he has said that you need to be able to love someone to understand that.

"I think a Ministry of Love Affairs should be made for such an ''international love guru'' so that the nation can gain from his wisdom and preaching," he said. Naqvi, however, said that it is not a matter of national debate.

Criticizing Modi for attacking him personally by calling his wife a ''50-crore girlfriend'', Tharoor earlier on Tuesday said the former need to love someone to understand what he said.
