Kharge jabs Tharoor; MP posts cryptic remark

Hours after Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge took a veiled jibe at Shashi Tharoor, saying he is in Congress Working Committee "because his English is very good", the party MP from Thiruvananthapuram made a cryptic post amid an apparent unease in his ties with the party.

Kharge, who addressed a press conference slamming the Modi government, took another dig at Tharoor, saying """some people say Modi first, country later""". Tharoor had recently praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a newspaper article.

"Shashi Tharoor's English is very good, that's why he has been taken in CWC (Congress Working Committee). I supported this," Kharge said.

"But what I want to say is that all of us, the entire opposition, have come together and said we stand with our Army, our Army that is fighting, we are with them. We say nation first, but some people say Modi first, country later. What can we do about that?" he added.
