Wings Are Yours, Not the Sky" – Tharoor Hits Back at Kharge's Jibe

Amidst the discussion of repeatedly praising PM Narendra Modi and increasing closeness with BJP, Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge has taken a jibe at party MP Shashi Tharoor. Kharge said that for us the country comes first, while for some people PM Modi comes first. Now Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has given his reaction on Mallikarjun Kharge's statement. Shashi Tharoor took a dig at Kharge and Congress in a poetic style and wrote on social media - The wings are yours, but the sky does not belong to anyone. No need to take permission to fly.

Let us tell you that everything is not going well in Congress at the moment. This is what seems from the recent tension between Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. In fact, Kharge had targeted Tharoor without naming him and said that for some people Modi comes first and the country later.

On 25 June 2025, on the completion of 50 years of Emergency, Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge held a press conference. During this, the Congress National President fiercely targeted PM Modi. Along with this, he also took Congress MP Shashi Tharoor into his fold. Kharge said that for us the country comes first, while for some people PM Modi comes first.

Earlier, Kharge said, “Shashi Tharoor's English is very good. I cannot read English properly. His language is very good, that is why we have made him a member of the Congress Working Committee.

Shashi Tharoor took the help of social media to answer the questions being constantly raised on him. He posted a picture of a bird on the social media site X. It was written on this picture, 'Do not ask for permission to fly. The wings are yours and the sky is no one's.'

PM had given a big responsibility to Tharoor in Operation Sindoor delegation

Let us tell you that Shashi Tharoor was also included in the all-party meeting that went around the world after Operation Sindoor. Shashi Tharoor, who has faced opposition many times within the party, had to face open opposition this time. He was even accused of being the super spokesperson of the BJP. Many Congress leaders had criticized him for praising PM Modi.

After this, Tharoor had said that when he is on the global stage, the party and other parties also raise objections against him. They rise above limits. On the allegations, Tharoor had said that for me the country comes first and the party later. After an article written in The Hindu newspaper, the displeasure of the Congress high command towards him had increased.
