Tharoor, his tweets and the four walls

Shashi tharoor is always found in controversies with his tweets and this time again he comes up to revolt within his own ministry. To remark the new guidelines set up by Home ministry in order to make visa norms strict, While tweeting, Tharoor had wondered whether tightening of the visa norms for foreign nationals made any sense at all and if it would actually "protect" security. Contending that "26/11 killers had no visas", the Minister of State for External Affairs had asked whether India
would allow terrorists to make it a "less welcoming" destination.

Tharoor had come on fame with his cattleclass remarks on twitter with an agitation after flying economy class. This had completely shaken up the aam aadmi policy of Congress and Tharoor had to explain his thoughts and later apologize. Was Tharoor really guilty to express his own thoughts before the internet connected world? Had it been great to mention the common man of India as God and then tear out 4000 crore Rs to make the people of India feel cattle class? Had he done a great task by delivering a hate speech and started riots among communities?

Indian officials have never been able to restrict Raj Thackery from beating up the poor taxi drivers in Mumbai, they have never been able to catch up a culprit like Headley, They have been saving a DGP and DIG who are alleged of rape for years, they have been unable to cope up with the terrorist activities but yes they have been really successful in threatening Tharoor against his tweets. They will be happy if the issues related to the governance can be discussed within the four walls of ministry and then applied to the common men of India. Tharoor is just making the democracy accessible and that too before the people who can think and analyze situations instead of just voting and cursing the ministers.

I believe this tweet controvery will go on for longer times and Tharoor will keep tweeting and making us more approachable to the bureaucrats. I hope it doesn’t flash out its darkness before us and enlighten the four walls of Indian governance.
