Congress Slams Shashi Tharoor’s ‘Modi First’ Politics After MP’s Praise for PM on Operation Sindoor

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has broken his silence over Shashi Tharoor’s public praise of PM Modi post Operation Sindoor, saying “For us, the nation comes first — but some say Modi first, India second.” While he ruled out action against Tharoor, Kharge hinted at clear discomfort within the party over the Thiruvananthapuram MP’s pro-Modi tone. Tharoor had lauded Modi’s “energy and dynamism” in a recent op-ed, prompting backlash from Congress leaders like Pawan Khera and Udit Raj. Tharoor was also controversially included in India’s global outreach delegation after the Sindoor ceasefire. Kharge defended CWC unity, but his veiled dig has set off fresh debate within the Congress on loyalty, discipline, and positioning in the post-Operation Sindoor narrative.#shashitharoor #kharge #operationSindoor #modipraise #congressrift #indianpolitics #tharoorvscongress #modidiplomacy #cwc #tharoorcontroversy #khargeonmodi #nationalinterest #modifirstindiasecond #rahulgandhi #congressnews #bjpvscongress #indiadiplomacy #politicaldebate #breakingnewsindia #modiinternational #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
