Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has departed for Moscow on a two‑week mission, the second phase of the post‑Operation Sindoor diplomatic outreach to Russia and the UK—reportedly without prior sign‑off from party leadership. He reportedly sought a pre‑departure meeting with AICC chief Kharge, which was denied. This ruffled feathers among state and national leaders. Kerala rivals criticized Tharoor’s autonomy, citing his decision to skip Nilambur campaigning (“I do not go where I am not invited”), although KPCC leader Sunny Joseph affirmed he was officially a star campaigner. AICC’s Venugopal emphasized that boundaries must be respected, but also defended individual freedom. (PC: JLF USA)
