Tharoor's praise for the Modi-led government places Congress in an awkward spot

March 21, 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.

At the Raisina Dialogue on Tuesday, Tharoor conceded that he was left with an "egg on his face" in opposing India's stance when the Russia-Ukraine war broke out, and said due to the policy that was adopted, the country is now in a position where it can make a difference for lasting peace.
