Shashi Tharoor Responds to LatestLY Report:

Earlier in the day, Tharoor was among the first to respond to PM Modi's "language challenge", in which he asked the nation to post an indigenous language word daily on social media, along with its translation in Hindi and English.

"India is perhaps the only country in the world with so many languages. In a way it is a force multiplier. But language has also been exploited by selfish interests to create artificial walls in the country to divide," he said.

Taking up Modi's challenge, Tharoor posted the word "pluralism" on Twitter, along with its equivalent in Hindi and English.Ā Ā "I will tweet a word daily in English, HindiĀ and Malayalam. Others can do this in other languages," the Congress MP said.
