In the corridors of power, an ordinary moment turned extraordinary when Shashi Tharoor stumbled on Parliament stairs. Engrossed in a call, the seasoned Congress MP faltered, only for Akhilesh Yadav to step in with unwavering support. The SP leader’s quick action has won hearts nationwide.
The video, now exploding on social media, captures the drama: Tharoor’s slip, Akhilesh’s rescue, a short conversation, and a careful descent together. Public anxiety over Tharoor’s health prompted the MP to take charge, sharing the footage himself with a profound caption.
Quoting a poignant sher, ‘The lamp destined to glow amidst tempests must walk with utmost caution. I’m perfectly fine,’ Tharoor assured followers on X. The statement’s layered meaning—personal recovery intertwined with political perseverance—has ignited discussions across the spectrum.
Parallel to this, tensions boiled over elsewhere in Parliament. Rahul Gandhi and Ravneet Singh Bittu’s exchange drew fire after Gandhi’s ‘gaddar’ remark. A proffered handshake was ignored, prompting BJP backlash. Delhi’s BJP parliamentarians decried it as a slur on Sikh sentiments.
As winter sessions rage on, these vignettes underscore the blend of vulnerability and valor in public life. Tharoor and Akhilesh’s interaction offers a refreshing contrast to the divisiveness, signaling potential bridges in a polarized landscape.
