New Delhi: After a jibe from party president Mallikarjun Kharge against his comments in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor shared a cryptic post on his social media handle that drops a hint about freedom and free thought.
“Don’t ask permission to fly..the wings are yours. And the sky belongs to no one,” the Thiruvananthapuram MP posted with the image of a bird.
Tharoor’s message emphasises self-belief and the pursuit of dreams without limitations. It is often used to suggest that individuals possess the potential and freedom to achieve their goals without seeking approval from others.
Kharge had said during the day that Tharoor is a member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) due to his good language (English) skills. Responding to Tharoor’s recent praise of Modi, he said that while the Congress puts the nation first, for some, it’s Modi first.
In an article published in The Hindu earlier this week, Tharoor had said Modi’s energy, dynamism and willingness to engage remain a ‘prime asset’ for India on the global stage but deserve greater backing. Tharoor said the diplomatic outreach following Operation Sindoor was a moment of national resolve and effective communication.
His praise for the prime minister did not gone down well with the Congress leadership. It comes at a time when the Congress has been consistently attacking the Modi government over its foreign policy.
The Congress has even said that diplomacy was being “shattered” and the country stood “isolated” globally, more so after Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir had a luncheon meeting with US president Donald Trump at the White House.
While some have claimed that Tharoor is planning to join the BJP, the former diplomat said that he has no such intentions.
