Wayanad landslide, There has been devastation after the landslide in Wayanad, Kerala. More than 344 people have died in this accident. Meanwhile, on Saturday, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor visited Wayanad in his home state Kerala. After the Wayanad tour, Shashi Tharoor gave a statement on social media for the visit, which created a ruckus. In fact, Tharoor, Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram, posted that some memories of a memorable day in Wayanad. As soon as Tharoor posted this, many people on social media objected to the use of the word memorable for a tragic incident. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya was among those who criticized Shashi Tharoor.

Tharoor defended his post
Malviya said that for Shashi Tharoor, deaths and disasters are memorable. Defending the post, Tharoor said that memorable is something that is likely to be remembered. Responding to the criticism, Tharoor tried to explain the meaning of ‘memorable’. Known for his English vocabulary, Tharoor said that for all the trolls, the definition of memorable is something that is worth remembering or likely to be remembered because it is special or unforgettable. That’s all I meant.
