‘Like always’: Cong distances itself from Tharoor’s praise for Advani; cites ‘liberal spirit’

Congress has distanced itself from Shashi Tharoor’s praise for BJP veteran L.K. Advani, calling his remarks his own. These comments followed after the Thiruvananthapuram MP defended Advani’s long public service, comparing it to assessing Congress icons. This isn’t the first time Tharoor’s cross-party compliments have caused friction with the party leadership.
