Shashi Tharoor Trapped in Controversy !
Public Figures always receive high respect from common people of India whether they comes from Cricket fraternity, Film Industry or Politics and everything related to their personality always attract, watch and followed by people of this country very seriously and they feel happy to express their opinions against or in favour of them and recently Mr. Shashi Tharoor Minister of State (External Affairs) create big controversy for himself when he wrote on social site Twitter Two words “Cattle Class” to Airlines Economy Class. All it started when Congress led United Progressive Alliance (U.P.A.) started austerity drive and initiative started and directed by Finance Minister Mr.Pranab Mukherjee on 7th September, 2009 when he asked Mr. S.M.Krishna External Affairs Minister and Mr. Shashi Tharoor Minister of State (External Affairs) to vacate the five star hotels they are staying in because they are not allotted government bungalows. Mr. Pranab Mukherjee while talking to media person said “I have requested both Ministers to vacate the hotel rooms and go to their respective Bhavans where they have come from and from where they have been elected and Mr.S.M.Krishna elected from Karnataka while his deputy Mr. Shashi Tharoor elected from Thiruvananthapuram which is a constituency from Kerala state. Then on 12th September,2009 Mr.Pranab Mukherjee asked all the ministries to cut cost by flying in Economy Class ,ministers with physical problems are exempted from it, If somebody is tall or plump, or has a physical problem, how can he or she travel long distance in cramped seats so they are exempted from austerity drive. Then one by one news keep on pouring that Ministers travel by economy class and the name adding in and making list long are Mr.Sharad Pawar, Mr.Pranab Mukherjee,Mamta Banerjee, U.P.A. Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi recently travel from Delhi to Ludhiana by Train and although the External Affairs, Defence and Home Ministers are entitled to use one 14-seater Embraer plane for travel abroad but Mr.S.M.Krishna reschedule his journey and took decision his two-nation tour to Belarus and Turkmenistan starting Tuesday. "I will go by commercial flights, and also reduce the size of members from Twelve to three,” said Krishna, who has been facing criticism for making a five-star hotel his temporary home as the bungalow allotted to him was under renovation, but just two days ago Mr. Shashi Tharoor’s two words on Twitter for economy class of Airlines as “Cattle Class” making lot of section of society furious and perhaps these words are so harsh for him which can create problem for him as far his political career is concern or he may be ignore by his party but certainly it is the story of future and interesting to see in which direction dust will settle down.
Economy Class of Airlines which usually occupied by more then ninety to ninety five percent of Indian who travel by Airlines and rest who travel in First or Business class we can count them on fingers and they are Industrialists, Multi National Executives, Film Fraternity and perhaps may be Cricketers, so if our ministers have problem while traveling along with them in their class barring security point of view then how he/she will justify from the constituency they are ?Every constituency of India have more then ninety percent of voters are from cattle class then how it is possible for him or her to understand problems faced by cattle class because in a constituency there will countless people who are with lot of problems. Interestingly he is highly educated and below is very little shadow of his personality and if somebody has to write anything about him then he/she have to cover very lengthy detail—

common saying which is very famous in India striking my mind that is Think before you speak, yes here Mr. Tharoor not speak single word but only written on social networking site but in today’s time blogs and social networking sites are giving us not only opportunity but they spread, follow and get reaction immediately and sometimes it generate criticism, unnecessary reaction from nothing and echo for long time.
