Shashi Tharoor Slams "Zealots" After Criticism For Praising PM's Terror Response

By our Special Correspondent

In a sharp response to his party colleagues' jibes after he praised the Narendra Modi government's fight against terrorism, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has said "critics and trolls" are welcome to distort his views and that he has "better things to do".

Mr Tharoor is heading an Indian delegation as part of the Centre's global outreach in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. After events in the US and Panama, the delegation is now headed to Bogota.
