Shashi Tharoor's praise came after BJP's Khushbu Sundar criticised the early release of the Bilkis Bano case convicts.
In a rare praise for another party's leader, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor today commended his former colleague and BJP leader Khushbu Sundar over her tweet criticising the early release of Bilkin Bano case convicts. Hear hear, @khushsundar! Proud to see you standing up for the right thing, rather than the right wing. https://t.co/NPfumMD6DW
All eleven convicts, who were facing life imprisonment in the Bilkis Bano gangrape case, were granted an early release by the Gujarat government earlier this month. Criticising the move that was widely slammed by opposition parties, Ms Sundar said such incidents are an "insult to humankind and womanhood".
Praising the BJP leader, Mr Tharoor said he's proud to see the BJP leader standing up for the "right thing, rather than the right wing."
