Shashi Tharoor criticised for ‘memorable day in Wayanad’ post, hits back with word’s definition

Shashi Tharoor faced backlash for describing his participation in Wayanad landslide relief efforts as ‘memorable’, prompting criticism on social media. Tharoor clarified his intent, stating that ‘memorable’ means something significant enough to be remembered. Meanwhile, advanced technologies like drones and heavy machinery were deployed by rescue teams to find survivors and victims. The landslides led to significant casualties in Kerala’s Wayanad district. Tharoor reiterated that his comment was meant to reflect the day’s importance, not to undermine the tragedy’s impact.
