Shashi Tharoor, a distinguished Member of Parliament representing Kerala, is currently drawing attention for his insightful comments on Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor. He commended the leadership, particularly the Prime Minister, for demonstrating courage and decisiveness in addressing the situation and holding culpable parties accountable. Tharoor often articulates views that reflect his role as a concerned citizen rather than strictly adhering to party lines, underscoring his independence of thought source says.
His recent remarks in response to a statement from President Donald Trump of the USA have captured significant media interest. As the Chairman of the Permanent Committee of Parliament on Foreign Affairs and a former senior diplomat at the United Nations, Tharoor's extensive international experience and personal relationships with key global figures position him well to potentially lead a parliamentary delegation to the USA and other countries for discussions on matters pertaining to Operation Sindoor.
Sources close to him have indicated that he is considering various options in light of potential suspension from the Congress party or a possible shift away from it. While he has yet to finalize his course of action, it is evident that he is taking a measured approach and intends to assess his future within the Congress party in the context of the upcoming 2026 state elections source says.
