CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal : Senior Congress leader and Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor has strongly rejected former US President Donald Trump’s recent remark labeling India’s economy as “dead.” In a sharply worded response, Tharoor said “Absolutely not,” defending India’s economic performance and resilience. He emphasized that India continues to be one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies, driven by innovation, entrepreneurship, and a strong demographic dividend.
Tharoor also pointed out that while India’s economy faces challenges, it remains vibrant and full of potential. He criticized Trump’s statement as uninformed and disconnected from economic realities. The Congress MP urged political leaders, both domestic and international, to exercise caution and responsibility when commenting on global economic issues, especially those concerning sovereign nations.
The remark by Trump has sparked reactions from across the political spectrum in India, with leaders questioning the intent and timing of such a statement. Analysts suggest that this exchange may also have geopolitical undertones, especially in the run-up to US elections.
Tharoor’s rebuttal is seen as a firm assertion of national pride and an attempt to shield India’s economic image on the global stage. The incident has ignited a fresh round of debate over how India is perceived internationally.
