Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticized the Indian government for its silence after South African jurist Navanethem "Navi" Pillay, of Indian origin, won the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Pillay's ancestors left India over 130 years ago, and her award sparked celebrations in Tamil Nadu's Dindigul district. Tharoor called the lack of government congratulations "deplorable" and condemned the decision to remain silent.
