The Congress on Wednesday said it found no reason to praise Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Ramnath Goenka Lecture, and wondered how party leader Shashi Tharoor found a reason to do so, ANI reported.

A multi-party delegation of parliamentarians led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Thursday (June 5, 2025) met U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and had “comprehensive” discussions covering a wide array of critical issues, from counter-terrorism efforts to enhancing technological cooperation.
The process of nominating members to all-party delegations, which will meet key global partners to convey a united message of India’s zero tolerance against terrorism following Operation Sindoor, got caught in partisan politics on Saturday (May 17, 2025) as the government ignored three of the four names suggested by the Congress.
