From rebel to icon: How Sitaram Yechury's defiance made Indira Gandhi resign as JNU chancellor
Thursday, 12 September 2024 Sitaram Yechury's political journey began as a student leader at JNU in 1974, marked by his defiance against Indira Gandhi during the Emergency. This activism defined his early career, leading to significant moments like Indira Gandhi's resignation from JNU's Chancellorship. He later served as Rajya Sabha MP and CPI(M) General Secretary.
As the Congress invoked Indira Gandhi's 1971 Bangladesh war leadership to criticize the Modi government’s ceasefire deal with Pakistan, senior leader Shashi Tharoor urged a clear-eyed view of history. Calling the 2025 scenario "entirely different," Tharoor said India needs peace, not endless escalation. He emphasized the importance of preventing protracted conflict, arguing that while retaliation against terrorism is necessary, risking national stability without clear goals is not. The comments mark a sharp political and strategic contrast to current government narratives amid rising border tensions.
