short by Atul Mishra / on Friday, 7 August, 2020
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Thursday tweeted that PM Narendra Modi congratulated 130 crore Indians after Ram Temple 'bhumi pujan' in Ayodhya. "But India's population is estimated at 138 crore in mid-2020, according to UN data. An omission of 8 crore people is worrying to many, after CAA/NRC," Tharoor added. "If inadvertent, a correction would be reassuring," he further said.
