Congress Rift: “Shashi Tharoor No Longer One of Us,” Says Senior Leader

The way Shashi Tharoor has praised PM Narendra Modi's leadership for the last few months is not going down well with the Congress high command.

At the same time, many senior Congress leaders have openly criticized Shashi Tharoor. In this connection, on Sunday, a senior Congress leader K. Muralidharan said that until Shashi Tharoor changes his stance on issues related to national security, he will not be invited to any party event in Thiruvananthapuram.

Speculations about Congress leader Shashi Tharoor leaving Congress are rife, especially after praising PM Modi. Congress leader K. Muralidharan has said that until Tharoor changes his stand on national security, he will not be invited to party events in Thiruvananthapuram because he is no longer with us. Tharoor has said that he will stick to his stand in the interest of the country.

'He is no longer with us'

Not only this, Congress leader Muralidharan also made it clear that Shashi Tharoor is no longer 'ours'. He said that Tharoor is definitely a member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), but his recent statements and stance have raised questions on the internal unity of the party. He said that he is no longer with us, so there is no question of his boycott.

I will stick to my stand: Shashi Tharoor

Recently speaking at an event in Kochi, Shashi Tharoor had said that many people are criticizing him because he recently supported the armed forces and the central government on the developments related to the country and borders. Shashi Tharoor also said that I will stick to my stand because I think it is right in the national interest.

Let us tell you that after the Pahalgam attack, Shashi Tharoor was giving statements that were different from the Congress leadership and party line, which the high command did not like.
