Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has expressed deep concern over recent attacks on Christians, emphasizing the importance of communal harmony in a diverse society. Speaking in Thiruvananthapuram on Christmas, Tharoor said any assault on one community is an attack on the nation's values as a whole. Tharoor's message comes amidst rising tensions, including a protest by Bajrang Dal members outside a church in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, and a controversy involving a BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh who allegedly harassed a visually impaired woman at a church. Tharoor, a strong advocate for pluralism and inclusive politics, stressed that respect for all communities' cultural and religious traditions is essential to Kerala's long-standing tradition of unity and tolerance. 'When people of a community are assaulted, every Indian is assaulted,' he said, underscoring the need for unity and mutual respect in a diverse society. Tharoor's comments highlight the importance of safeguarding the rights of all communities and promoting harmony among different faiths, particularly in the wake of recent incidents that have sparked concerns about the country's social fabric.
