Surgical strike is an irresponsible politicised hyper nationalism: Tharoor

Kolkata, Nov 3 (UNI) Former minister for External Affairs and Human Resource Department, Dr. Shashi Tharoor slammed Modi government in various ways this evening in Kolkata.
Author of just released non-fiction “The Paradoxical Prime Minister”, Tharoor labelled surgical strike as irresponsible politicised hyper nationalism to gain narrow political advantages. While talking about the way of governance India is facing now he shouted, “If you disagree with the ruling party then you will be marked as anti-national and this is nonetheless a dangerous thought process for democracy.”
Fierce Tharoor countered demonetisation and GST stating “Demonetisation was a bad idea badly implemented and GST is a good idea badly implemented.” He further added that there are no such points to say in favour of this Modi government followed by the use of his trademark word ‘floxinoxinihilipilification’.
