‘Those who are saying …’: Shashi Tharoor Kerala Congress hits back to Snow; ‘Now none of us’ responds to the comment. Bharat News
New Delhi: Facing open criticism from Kerala Congress leaders, Shashi Tharoor came back on Tuesday and questioned the credibility of the claims.“People who say this are also the basis for saying … Who are they? What is the status of his party … I would like to know. Do not ask me to explain the behavior of other people.You talk to him about his behavior. I can only talk about my behavior, ”Tharoor told reporters that when asked about the statements made by fellow Congress leaders.His commentary came a day after two senior Congress leaders from Kerala – Rajmohan Annathan and K Muralifran, a day later, a direct attack on Tharoor, accusing him of reducing the party line and siding with the Modi government on major issues.Unnithan alleged that Tharoor shared an internal party discussion with the Prime Minister and demanded that he be stopped from Congress parliamentary party meetings. He said, “Tharoor should no longer be allowed to participate in the Congress Parliamentary Party meetings. Whatever is discussed, he tells and tells PM Modi.”Muraliharan said that the party’s state unit will no longer attach to Tharoor. He said, “We are not ready to cooperate with him in Kerala as he always attacks Congress and Indira Gandhi. Until he changes his stand, we will not invite him to any party program held in Thiruvananthapuram,” he said.The friction between Tharoor and the party has been boiling for months, his public praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his support for Operation Sindoor, and his public praise for the Emergency and Sanjay Gandhi’s recent comments.“He does not need to wait for the party to expel him – this is not going to happen. But he wants to throw out clearly. It is best that he leaves on his own,” the Annithan said.Tharoor has earlier defended his comment, stating that Rashtriya Hit takes priority on the loyalty of the party. In a recent program in Kochi, he said, “Sometimes parties feel that it is disorganized for them … in my mind, the nation comes first.”
