PM's dynamism, willingness to engage an asset: Tharoor

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s energy, dynamism and willingness to engage remains a “prime asset” for India on the global stage but deserves greater backing, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said on Monday, in remarks that are likely to irk his party and widen the growing cracks in his ties with its leadership.

Tharoor’s praise for the prime minister comes at a time when the Congress has been consistently attacking the Modi government over its foreign policy, alleging that Indian diplomacy is being “shattered” and the country stands “isolated” globally.
