Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on the PM's praise for him: I am very touched and grateful, is se zyaada kya bolun? He was kind enough to say this, bade dil se baat kii."



Cong's Ghulam Nabi Azad: "How does that matter? PM praised us too in J&K. We don't have a personal fight with the PM. If a BJP leader does good work tomorrow even we will praise them."


What PM Modi said while addressing Parliamentarians: "Shashi-ji is an orator who says the right thing at the right place... sometimes, such things become a turning point.

"At a debate at Oxford University, Mr Tharoor said that Britain owes reparations to former colonies - "Britain's rise for 200 years was financed by its depredations in India," he said. That sentiment is "in the heart of every Indian," said the PM today in an address to parliamentarians.


"What our Shashi-ji said at the Oxford debate reflects expressiveness of an Indian citizen. It reflects the power of expressiveness of what we feel, it shows what we leave at the right place."
