Chennai: Actress-politician Khushbu Sundar, a spokesperson of Congress party, has kicked up a controversy in the party by offering support to the Centre’s New Education Policy.
With office-bearers including TNCC president K S Azhagiri slamming her for her comments and social media pundits predicting that she would join the BJP, she has reacted to them.
“My stand on #NEP2020 differs from my party n I apologize to @RahulGandhi ji for that, but I rather speak the fact than be a head nodding robot or a puppet. Everything cannot be about agreeing to ur leader, but about being courages to voice ur opinion bravely as a citizen. Any bill or draft, you will have different opinions, n me someone who fiercely believes in democracy, think it is fine to have differences of opinions. My country is built by all kinds of people, all religious beliefs, non believers, every party, each of those divided by reservation,” Khushbu said.
“Being in opposition, it is our duty to point out the goof ups, but it is also equally important to learn to accept the good in the bad and give solutions to down side paras,” she added.
“Politics is not only about making noises, its also about working together. And @BJP4India @PMOIndia has to understand this. We as opposition, will look into it in detail n point out the flaws, its the GOI who has to take everyone in confidence n work on the flaws. #NEP2020,” she said.
She also said, “I prefer to see the positive aspects n sit n work on the negative ones. We have to offer a solution to the problems n not just raise voices. Opposition also means to work for the country’s future. I would like to take a leaf out of #Atal ji’s life n #UPA where we have worked.”
