Mumbai: Soon after LS passed a Bill on Weapons of Mass Destruction, Congress’ Shashi Tharoor said, the Centre’s real strength is its “weapons of mass distraction”.

“Aided and abetted by a complicit media, pointless controversies over halal, hijab and azaan have driven away from the focus from price rise,” the Congress MP tweeted.

As Parliament got adjourned on Thursday a day ahead of the schedule, the Congress MP said instead of adjourning the proceedings, the government should have had the courage to listen to a serious debate on fuel price rise and consumer inflation. “It’s clear that GOI doesn’t want to discuss prices at any price,” Tharoor tweeted.
