Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who went on a US visit to the Government of India’s delegation, reacted to the anti -party rhetoric on Thursday. He said- Those who consider working in the national interest as anti-party activity, should question themselves.
Tharoor gave this answer on the question of speculation of leaving the Congress. He said- When you are serving the country, then you should not care much about such things. Our political differences end as soon as they go outside the border of India. We are first Indians as soon as we cross the border.
Tharoor is on an American tour these days, where he is leading the multi -party delegation made on Operation Sindoor. On speaking in support of the government, Congress leader Udit Raj described Tharoor as a BJP super spokesperson.

Throor said on the statement of US President Donald Trump’s arbitration between Indo-Pak- I have not come here to air any dispute. The US President is respected. We do not know what he said to Pakistan, but we did not need anyone’s advice.
We said on the first day that if Pakistan attacks, we will answer more vigorously. And if he stops, then we will also stop.
