Shashi Tharoor and saga of Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar; these tweets will prove he is a word wizard
Addressing Manushi He Tweeted, “You're A Class Act, @ManushiChhillar! Beautiful, Smart & Uncommonly Gracious Too.
Shashi Tharoor, the Congress Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha from Thiruvananthapuram had on Sunday posted a tweet which purportedly targeted demonetization mentioning the newly-crowned Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar's surname.
Following the backlash from several quarters, he tweeted, “What a terrific answer by this bright young woman -- a real credit to Indian values!†as a supposed damage control.Â
Addressing Manushi he tweeted, “You're a class act, @ManushiChhillar! Beautiful, smart & uncommonly gracious too. Still, if any offense was caused to any member of your family, sincere apologies. Like every Indian, I'm proud of you.â€
In a tweet supposedly directed at his hecklers, he further added, “Guess the pun IS the lowest form of humour, & the bilingual pun lower still! Apologies to the many who seem to have been righteously offended by a light-hearted tweet today. Certainly, no offence was meant to a bright young girl whose answer I've separately praised. Please: Chill!â€Â Â
Followed by:
Guess the people offended by one tweet never saw the other. Just reminding.... https://t.co/K4m05QkWMI
“From the Bhumi Sukta (Hymn to the Earth), Atharva Veda XII.1.58:The words that I speak are sweet as honey!My glances meet with fair glances in return;Vehement am I, swift and impetuous!Those who gnash their teeth I utterly vanquish!
To recall, back in May Tharoor had slammed a TV channel and its anchor who reportedly slandered his late wife Sunanda Pushkar in his own unique style and verbosity. The man who could have been the UN Secretary-General drafted a tweet that had the best of learned maddened.He tweeted, “Exasperating farrago of distortions, misrepresentations and outright lies being broadcast by an unprincipled showman masquerading as a journalist.â€
This is the tweet that started the Word War!"What a mistake to demonetise our currency! BJP should have realised that Indian cash dominates the globe: look, even our Chhillar has become Miss World!," Tharoor tweeted.
