New Delhi: Despite facing criticisms from the Congress for praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his good works, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has once again come in support of Modi and his “Language challenge”.
Shashi Tharoor took to Twitter and welcomed the departure from Hindi dominance. ” 1/2 PrimeMinister @NarendraModi ended his speech at the #manoramanewsconclave by suggesting we all learn one new word a day from an Indian language other than our own. I welcome this departure from Hindi dominance &gladly take him up on this #LanguageChallenge,” he tweeted.

Tharoor, known for being verbose, took the challenge by introducing the word “pluralism” and then added its Hindi and Malayalam translations.
“2/2 In response to the PM’s #LanguageChallenge, I will tweet a word daily in English, Hindi & Malayalam. Others can do this in other languages. Here is the 1st one:
Pluralism (English)
बहुलवाद
bahulavaad (Hindi)
ബഹുവചനം
bahuvachanam (Malayalam)” he tweeted.

Tharoor had landed in trouble after he allegedly praised PM Modi by expressing support for party colleague Jairam Ramesh who had publicly declared that it is wrong to “demonise the Prime Minister”.
