"First Loyalty?": Shashi Tharoor's Big Remark Amid Rift With Congress | Read

Amid his tussle with the Congress leadership over the public remarks in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, senior party leader and MP Shashi Tharoor has dug his heels in and said that while "a lot of people have been critical" of him, he will stand his ground "because I believe this is the right thing for the country".

The Thiruvananthapuram MP was at an event in Kochi when a high school student asked him a question linked to the unease in his relationship with his party. "While I have been steering clear of such political discussions in public, I felt a student deserved a response," Mr Tharoor posted on X, sharing a video of his remarks.
