Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP
Thiruvananthapuram: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor spoke openly about Operation Sindoor. Now there are reports of controversy inside the party about his statement. There are reports that the Congress party described Shashi Tharoor’s statement as ‘not the party’s opinion’. At the same time, it was allegedly said by the Congress that Shashi Tharoor has crossed the Laxman Rekha. When Shashi Tharoor was questioned in this regard, he said that as an Indian, he spoke to the country and the world.
Speak as an Indian
Shashi Tharoor said that the country was going through a struggle and in such a situation it is our responsibility as an Indian to remain united. I spoke as an Indian. I never pretended to speak for anyone else. I am not a party spokesperson. I am not a government spokesperson. Whatever I have said, you can agree or disagree with him, for this I can personally blame me and that’s fine.
Shashi Tharoor said that I put my personal views. This was actually a part of the national discourse. At a time when the country is in the hour of crisis, it was important for us to take such a step, our attitude in America, Europe and Middle East was not being heard in the way that was needed. People are completely free to reject my approach. When asked Shashi Tharoor, whether he received any message from the party, Tharoor said that no, I was not told anything from the party, I am only watching media reports.
No such thing happened in CWC meeting
Actually, the Congress Working Committee met amid Indo-Pak tension. Shashi Tharoor was also present in this meeting. It is said that during this time, the party had told Shashi Tharoor’s statement to cross the Laxman Rekha and it was said that this is his personal statement, not the Congress party. When Tharoor was asked in this regard, he said that I was present in the meeting of the Congress Working Committee but there was no such thing in front of me. Let us know that after the operation vermilion, Shashi Tharoor had put India’s side in front of the world through media on various channels.
