The Congress is a democratic party in which leaders express their views freely, but Shashi Tharoor has crossed the ‘lakshman rekha’ with his repeated comments on the India-Pakistan conflict, party sources said on Wednesday.
The sources made the assertion after a meeting of senior leaders, including Tharoor, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Congress general secretaries K C Venugopal, Jairam Ramesh, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Sachin Pilot, among others, at its 24, Akbar Road office here.
“We are a democratic party and people keep expressing their opinion, but this time, Tharoor has crossed the lakshman rekha,” a party source said. PTI
