Rahul Gandhi 'sincere leader', 'strong voice' against communalism: Shashi Tharoor

Tharoor also said that he had never agreed with any wrong comment against Rahul, saying "he is a sincere leader".

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Friday praised Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for his "strong voice" on various issues like communalism in the country, adding that he is a "sincere leader".

The Thiruvananthapuram MP said Gandhi is liked by everyone because he speaks against the politics of communalism, hatred and divisiveness in the country.

"I do not have a different opinion on that," Tharoor told reporters in his constituency.

The comments come only a day after Tharoor met party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Gandhi for redressal of his grievances, after which he said "all is good" and "we are all on the same page".

Tharoor was upset over the treatment meted out to him at a Kochi event recently and attempts by some leaders to sideline him in Kerala.
