Congress miffed as Centre goes against recommendation, picks Tharoor to lead a delegation on Operation Sindoor
The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs named the leaders of the delegations in a statement, with Tharoor on top of the list followed by Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP), Sanjay Kumar Jha (JD-U), Baijayant Panda (BJP), Kanimozhi (DMK), Supriya Sule (NCP-SP) and Shrikant Shinde (Shiv Sena).
In moments that matter most, Bharat stands united. Seven All-Party Delegations will soon visit key partner nations, carrying our shared message of zero-tolerance to terrorism. A powerful reflection of national unity above politics, beyond differences.@rsprasad@ShashiTharoor… pic.twitter.com/FerHHACaVK
Cong recommended Anand Sharma, Gaurav Gogoi, Naseer Hussain, Raja Brar as its nominees to delegations visiting countries to brief on Pak's involvement in terrorism. Shashi Tharoor not in Congress list but Govt chose him as leader of one of the 7 delegations @DeccanHeraldhttps://t.co/jilGQTWF3A
I am honoured by the invitation of the government of India to lead an all-party delegation to five key capitals, to present our nation’s point of view on recent events.
When national interest is involved, and my services are required, I will not be found wanting.
