Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has been appointed to lead a multi-party delegation to the U.S. to brief on Operation Sindoor, India's response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Tharoor's vocal support for the Modi government's actions has caused unease within Congress, prompting the party to clarify that his views are personal. Despite internal tensions, Tharoor emphasized that national interest supersedes party lines. He praised Operation Sindoor as a precise, morally justified response, targeting UN-designated terrorist bases while avoiding civilian harm. Tharoor also lauded the operation's name for its symbolic resonance. His inclusion in the delegation has sparked political debate, with Congress accusing the BJP of a "talent vacuum" and unilateral decision-making. (PC: India Today)
