Shashi Tharoor's recent praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies has raised eyebrows within the Congress party. Tharoor's unwavering support for Modi's actions against Pakistan, particularly during the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, has sparked a debate within the party ranks. While Congress has lauded the success of 'Operation Sindoor', Tharoor's vocal endorsement of the Modi government's decisions has drawn criticism from fellow Congress members. Amidst US President Donald Trump's claims of mediating between India and Pakistan, Tharoor stood firm in his defense of the ceasefire agreement and criticized Trump's attempts to take credit for the peace initiative. Tharoor emphasized the importance of peace and reiterated India's stance on not negotiating under duress. He also condemned Trump's social media posts for equating the victim with the perpetrator in the conflict. Tharoor's support for the government's actions against Pakistan has not been well-received by some Congress leaders, leading to a rift within the party. The BJP has seized upon Tharoor's statements to target the Congress, accusing the party of playing politics amidst sensitive international issues. Tharoor's repeated endorsements of PM Modi and his policies have further strained relations within the Congress, with party leaders distancing themselves from his remarks. Despite the internal turmoil, Tharoor remains steadfast in his support for the government's approach towards Pakistan, even as his stance continues to draw criticism from within the Congress.
