Civility a rare virtue in Indian politics: Shashi Tharoor after Nirmala Sitharaman meets him in hospital
Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 16 (IBNS): At a time political leaders are hurling abuses against each other in the ongoing election season, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor was paid a visit by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at a hospital on Tuesday.
Tharoor, an outgoing MP from Thiruvananthapuram, injured himself during his visit to a temple visit on Monday.
On Tuesday, the Congress man tweeted a picture where Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sitharaman is seen shaking hand with Tharoor.
"Touched by the gesture of @nsitharaman, who dropped by today morning to visit me in the hospital, amid her hectic electioneering in Kerala. Civility is a rare virtue in Indian politics - great to see her practice it by example!" Tharoor said in the tweet.
