Thiruvanathapuram (Kerala), May 15, 2025 (ANI): On Congress party's reported remarks - ‘not party’s opinion’ and ‘Lakshman Rekha’ over his stance regarding Operation Sindoor, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said,"...At this time, at a time of conflict, I spoke as an Indian. I never pretended to speak for anyone else. I am not a spokesperson for the party. I am not the government spokesperson. Whatever I have said, you may agree or disagree with that, blame it on me individually, and that's fine. I made it very clear that I am expressing my personal views. It was really a contribution to the national discourse, at a time when it was very important for us to rally around the flag, especially internationally. There was a relative lack of our point of view being heard, particularly in the US, Europe, and the Middle East... People are entirely free to reject my point of view. I have received no communication from the party; all I am seeing is media reports...".
