Tharoor criticises Congress Working Çommittee member and Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor has slammed his party ruled government in Karnataka on its move to bring a legislation for reserving jobs in the private industries for Kannadigas
.During a press conference, Tharoor on Friday, he highlighted the implications of such a law, asserting, “That was not a wise decision. If every state brings such a law, it would be unconstitutional. According to the Constitution, every citizen has the right to live, work, and travel freely in any part of India.” He referenced a previous Supreme Court ruling that had rejected a similar initiative attempted by the Haryana government.
Tharoor , however, welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to put it on hold for wider consultations.
