What: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said that he is ‘seeking legal advice’ after he was made aware of film director Vivek Agnihotri’s comment about him. In an interview, Agnihotri said that people holding ‘constitutional positions’ took bribes to promote foreign vaccines over indigenous ones.
Furthermore: Agnihotri’s new film, The Vaccine War, tells the story of the Indian scientists who created the the Covaxin COVID-19 vaccine. Tharoor said in a tweet that Agnohtri’s comments are an ‘obvious bid for publicity.’ He wrote in response to a clip from Agnihotri’s video interview with OpIndia, “It is a obviously a cheap bid for publicity, but the concern is that once a lie is repeated often enough, some people will start to believe it. Am seeking legal advice.”
We heard: Shashi Tharoor is asking for legal advice regarding this. But seriously, is it our imagination or is Vivek continuously prodding controversies these days?
