Senior Congress leaders in Kerala have openly criticized MP Shashi Tharoor for his perceived pro-Modi stance and deviation from party lines on national security and the Emergency. Former KPCC president K. Muraleedharan declared Tharoor no longer part of the Congress fold, with party workers boycotting him. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge accused Tharoor of prioritizing Modi over the nation. Tharoor defended his views, stating “nation comes first,” quoting Nehru to support bipartisan unity on security issues. His absence from recent party events and growing isolation within the Congress Working Committee signal deepening rifts. The high command may soon decide Tharoor’s future in the party. (PC: NDTV)
