Tharoor's praise for PM Modi places Cong in awkward spot
Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai
|March 20, 2025
Last time the Congress fielded former UN diplomat and party MP Shashi Tharoor to speak on a major debate in Parliament was on December 11, 2024, according to the PRS Legislative Research.
NEW DELHI: But that has not stopped Tharoor, serving his fourth term in the Lok Sabha, to speak out outside the House, often putting the party in an awkward position.
His latest comments on India's policy during the Russia vs Ukraine war — that were considered as an oblique praise for the Narendra Modi government — sparked a fresh controversy.
