PM Modi is like scorpion sitting on Shiv Linga, says Shashi Tharoor

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has once again triggered a controversy with a comment targeted at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking at the Bengaluru Literature festival on Sunday, Tharoor said he recalls an old news article where an "unnamed RSS source" had compared PM Modi with a scorpion sitting on a Shiv Linga.
