Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's recent commendation of India's Operation Sindoor has sparked internal party tensions. Senior Congress leader Pawan Khera responded by highlighting a passage from Tharoor's 2018 book, "The Paradoxical Prime Minister," where Tharoor criticized the politicization of surgical strikes, emphasizing the need for discretion and non-partisanship in national security matters. Khera's move underscores the party's discomfort with Tharoor's current stance, which aligns closely with the government's narrative. This incident reflects ongoing friction within the Congress regarding its approach to national security and its relationship with the ruling party's policies. The situation raises questions about internal coherence and the party's strategic positioning on critical national issues. (PC: The Statesman & Mint)
