    MP Shashi Tharoor is in trouble over a "funny" comment about flying economy class. When a newspaper asked him about flying in "cattle" class (this is what economy class is called by high society), he tweeted that yes, he is flying with economy class to show "solidarity with our holy cows"

    This has landed him in trouble and congress is up in arms against his so-called derogatory remark.

    Do you think it was offensive? I don't think so....

    I think it was a very rude comment by him. How could he call the people who fly in economy class, cattle? It is sooooo insensitive. I think Congress should take action on him immediately.

    A diplomat should think twice before talking in the media...

    otherwise he will be in a soup like this:hide:

    You are right... But he is an MP now, not a diplomat. In any case, communication should always be in a limit. Too much or too less of it, always creates trouble.
