On the conclusion of two-day mega G20 Summit which was held in Delhi under Indias Presidency, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, taking it to his Twitter account has shared a video, in which he said that Central government has done something that no previous G20 presidency nation has done. But while praising the event, he also took a jibe at the ruling government saying “No ruling party has celebrated its leadership in such a way.”No previous G20 presidency has done something like this: Shashi Tharoor“One of the things that was remarkable about the governments conduct of the presidency was that they did something that no previous G-20 presidency has done. They actually made it a huge nationwide event. 200 meetings in 58 cities, a huge amount of action, and the conversion of the G-20 into a sort of peoples G-20 with public events… civil society and think tank meetings all of these things were unprecedented. No other country has done anything like that. And that is, in some ways, both a credit to India for taking the message of the G-20 to the entire people. But its also an attempt by the ruling party to instrumentalize the G-20 as something that would turn out to be an asset for them politically… India has hosted many summits. Never has the ruling party celebrated its leadership in such a way…,” he said.#WATCH | On G-20 Summit, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, One of the things that was remarkable about the governments conduct of the presidency was that they did something that no previous G-20 presidency has done.

With the G-20 summit itself, we saw two very disappointing developments. One was the complete exclusion of the public interest from the summit. For example, the shutdown of Delhi for three days with great difficulties for daily wage workers and others who had no income for those days…the second negative in terms of the summit itself was the complete failure to accommodate the opposition…The leader of the opposition was not invited. The opposition members of Parliament were not invited, not even the members of the relevant parliamentary committees dealing with foreign affairs. Nobody was invited to any of the events, the receptions, or the dinner… I thought that was very unfortunate…”On the G-20 Summit, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, The overall presidency has been different from previous presidencies, and there are both good and bad elements in it.

Its a good achievement because right until the G-20 summit was being convened, the widespread expectation was there would be no agreement and that therefore a joint communique might not be possible. We might have to end up with a chairmans summary. The reason for that, in particular, the main reason was the big gulf between those who wanted a condemnation of the Russian war in Ukraine and those, like Russia and China, who wanted no mention whatsoever of that subject. India was able to find a formula to bridge that gap. And that is a significant diplomatic achievement because when there is a Summit without a joint communique, it is always seen as a setback for the chairman…”#WATCH | On G-20 Summit, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, The Delhi Declaration is undoubtedly a diplomatic triumph for India.
