Spoke in national interest: Shashi Tharoor on why he praised PM Modi's US visit
India TodaySenior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday clarified that his praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent meeting with United States President Donald Trump was made in India's broader interest, asserting "we cannot always speak only in terms of party interest". "Some of the important outcomes of PM Modi's meeting with President Trump is that there are good things for Indian people. Speaking to reporters further, Tharoor, a key opposition leader, reiterated that his political approach has always been consistent -- acknowledging and praising good governance, irrespective of the ruling party, while also holding the government accountable when necessary. However, the Thiruvananthapuram MP also pointed out that the Prime Minister's US visit left certain crucial issues unaddressed, such as the repatriation of illegal immigrants.
