"Kuch toh log kahenge": Shashi Tharoor on video of chat with NCP MP

 

New Delhi: With a video of Shashi Tharoor in conversation with NCP’s Supriya Sule during Lok Sabha proceedings viral, the Congress MP on Thursday tweeted that she was asking him a policy question and he leaned over to hear her as she was speaking softly so as not to disturb the debate.

In another tweet, he also posted lyrics of a popular song from Rajesh Khanna-Sharmila Tagore starrer ‘Amar Prem’ — ‘Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna’, and tagged Sule.

The video has gone viral on social media with many superimposing movie songs and taking digs.

“For all those who’ve been enjoying themselves at @supriyaSule’s and my expense over our brief exchange in the Lok Sabha, she was asking me a policy question because she was about to speak next,” Tharoor said in his first tweet.

“She was speaking softly so as not to disturb Farooq Sahib, so I leaned over to hear her,” the Thiruvananthapuram MP said.

The video clip is from Tuesday when a short-duration discussion was held in the Lower House on ‘Situation in Ukraine’ and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah was participating in the debate
