A rift within the Congress party has emerged over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent speech at the sixth Ramnath Goenka Lecture. Congress leader Supriya Shrinate expressed her disapproval of the Prime Minister's address, calling it 'petty' and failing to find anything 'praiseworthy' in it. Shrinate's comments come in contrast to those of her party colleague, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who praised PM Modi's speech, highlighting his emphasis on India's 'constructive impatience' for development and its post-colonial mindset. In a recent address, PM Modi spoke about India's economic resilience, its emergence as a 'model' for the world, and his plan for a 10-year national mission to restore pride in India's heritage, languages, and knowledge systems. However, Shrinate expressed disappointment that the Prime Minister did not address the issue of fair journalism and failed to acknowledge the contributions of Ramnath Goenka. Tharoor, who was in attendance at the event despite having a 'bad cold and cough', wished PM Modi had acknowledged Goenka's role in using English to raise a voice for Indian nationalism. The comments by the two Congress leaders reflect the differing opinions within the party on PM Modi's recent speech and its implications for India's development and journalism.
