Tharoor puts a dampener on K-Rail stir
The Hindu
He declines to sign MPs’ petition seeking to stop land acquisition for SilverLine
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor’s refusal to oppose the K-Rail (SilverLine) project has arguably put a dampener on the United Democratic Front’s (UDF) impending Statewide agitation against the Pinarayi Vijayan government’s flagship semi-high-speed railway project.
Mr. Tharoor has declined to sign a petition by Opposition MPs seeking to stop the land acquisition and allied works for the scheme. The MPs have sought a directive from the Centre to stop the State from forging ahead with SilverLine. They have addressed the petition to Union Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnav.
