Shashi Tharoor defends Rahul Gandhi's questioning of tycoon Adani amidst politically motivated disqualification and defamation penalty.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor condemned the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha after conviction in a criminal defamation case filed by a BJP leader in Gujarat. Tharoor said that Gandhi was not suggesting that "everyone with the Modi surname are thieves." "Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi are not Other Backward Classes (OBCs)," Tharoor said.
