Not sign of my ‘leaping to join’ PM’s party: Tharoor on Op Sindoor outreach article

MOSCOW: (Jun 24) Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday said his article on Operation Sindoor’s global outreach was not a sign of his “leaping to join” Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party but a statement of national unity, interest and standing up for India.

Tharoor, in an article published in The Hindu on Monday, said Modi’s energy, dynamism and willingness to engage remained a “prime asset” for India on the global stage but deserved greater backing.

His remarks were seen as likely to irk his Congress party and widen cracks in his ties with its leadership. PTI
