Amidst internal discord within the Congress party, Shashi Tharoor faces criticism from colleague Udit Raj over remarks lauding India’s counterterror strikes during an international delegation visit. BJP leaders, including Kiren Rijiju and Shehzad Poonawalla, have rallied around Tharoor, questioning Congress’s commitment to national interest.
This situation highlights the ongoing tensions within the Congress party, revealing cracks in their unity over critical national issues. It’s interesting how even within the same party, perspectives on national security can differ so sharply. Shashi Tharoor’s stance seems to have garnered support from unexpected quarters, which raises questions about the Congress party’s internal coherence. The BJP’s involvement in defending Tharoor adds another layer of complexity to the situation—are they genuinely concerned about national interest, or is this a strategic move? It’s hard to ignore the timing of such criticisms, especially during an international delegation visit. What do you think this means for the Congress party’s future, particularly in terms of presenting a united front on national issues? Could this internal discord be a turning point for their credibility?
