Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Friday doubled down on his remarks backing the viral satirical outfit Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), saying suppressing such movements in a democracy would be “foolish” and warning that ignoring youth frustration could prove “disastrous”. ‘I prefer satire to chaos’ Using a pressure cooker analogy, Tharoor said such movements function as democratic safety valves. Within days of its launch, the group amassed millions of followers on social media and even drew engagement from politicians across party lines, including Trinamool Congress MPs Mahua Moitra and Kirti Azad.
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor slammed the bureaucratic mindset that persists among government officials even in the digital age, after an X user reached out to him seeking help in speaking with Gujarat chief minister Bhupendra Patel regarding an RTO invoice. The RTO babu declined the digital bill and is asking for a 9-year-old signed and stamped invoice.
