Senior Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is facing backlash from the party after calling the situation in Jammu and Kashmir as progressing towards encouraging normalcy. "In Srinagar! Had the honour of an excellent meeting with Lieutenant-Governor Shri Manoj Sinha at Lok Bhavan today. We discussed the situation in the state and the encouraging progress towards normalcy. When I arrived, he was chatting to the President of the Kashmiri Writers' Association and the Women's Organisation - a positive outreach that I welcomed. Many challenges remain and much remains to be done, but I left the meeting feeling more positives than I have felt for a while," Tharoor wrote on X.
