"Message is important enough to deserve a sustained effort": Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Rahul Gandhi’s high tea meeting

New Delhi [India], October 13 (ANI): Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday said the message behind the high tea meeting at the residence of Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi was important enough to warrant sustained efforts.
Tharoor, who was arriving for the meeting, said he could not comment on its outcome before it had taken place.
“I’m only entering the meeting now; how can I tell you what I’ve made of something that hasn’t happened? The message is important enough to deserve a sustained effort. That’s the message,” Tharoor said.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that the movement to "protect democracy" will continue after the INDIA bloc's "Chalo Dilli" march to the Supreme Court.
He said he invited his "comrades" from civil society, student organisations and leaders from the INDIA bloc, along with opposition MPs, for a tea meeting today, after which they plan to present their case before the media. He added that all are together in their fight to "protect" democracy. 
"Today I have invited the leaders of the INDIA alliance, opposition MPs, student organisations, and civil society comrades to my home for tea. In this people's movement to protect democracy, we are all together - and this movement will continue relentlessly," Gandhi posted on X. 
"After tea, we will all come together and present our case in front of the media. All protests are one," he added. 
This comes after INDIA bloc leaders and supporters, led by Rahul Gandhi, marched through Barakhamba Road towards the Supreme Court, following which 11 opposition leaders filed a petition in the apex court challenging the Election Commission's decisions relating to the SIR of electoral rolls on Monday.
Meanwhile, Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Tuesday raised serious questions regarding the conduct of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, terming his actions "illegal".
"The people of the country are concerned. We have appealed to the judiciary. The issue is that the role of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is questionable. What he did is illegal," Pilot told reporters.(ANI)
