Insight Bureau: Shashi Tharoor, once again, has grabbed Twitterati’s attention but this time not for his extraordinary words but for being inattentive to Farooq Abdullah’s speech in the parliament. You must have seen a number of memes of Tharoor and NCP MP Supriya Sule creating buzz all over the internet.
The video has gone viral on social media with many superimposing movie songs and taking digs.

the Congress MP on Thursday responded to the hype and tweeted that Supriya 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.
“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.

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 Supriya Sule.
कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना
छोड़ो बेकार की बातों में कहीं बीत ना जाए रैना
कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना!
कुछ रीत जगत की ऐसी है, हर एक सुबह की शाम हुई
तू कौन है, तेरा नाम है क्या, सीता भी यहाँ बदनाम हुई
कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना! @supriya_sule https://t.co/X69vWB7j3u— Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) April 7, 2022
