Shashi tharoor quotes jawaharlal nehru: Senior Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor openly spoke on the differences going on with the party. Tharoor, who supported the Modi government on Operation Sindoor, said that leaders should give more priority to national security than the party. Tharoor, citing former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, said that if India only dies, then who will survive?
Posting a video on social media, the Congress MP said that today a high school student in Kochi asked me a necessary question. Although I am publicly away from such discussions, but I felt that it should be answered. He said that when people like me say that they respect their parties, we have some rules and beliefs that keep us connected to our parties, but we need to work closely with other parties and government on national security issues.
In Kochi Today, I was Asking Inevitable Question by a High School Student. While I have been steering clear of such political discussions in public, I felt a student deserved a response: pic.twitter.com/aiupdbl0kf

According to me India is paramount- Tharoor
Shashi Tharoor said that sometimes from some of our works or statements, the party feels that it reduces loyalty towards him, but according to me India is paramount. Political parties are also the medium to improve the nation. Therefore, in my thoughts, whatever party you are in, the purpose of the party should be the creation of a better India.
What did Tharoor say on his criticism?
On the criticism being done by Congress leaders, he said that many people are opposing me because I made statements in support of the security forces and the government, but I stand on my point because I think that is right for India and when I say India, I mean all Indians involved in it and not only my party’s people.
