NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said his party believes in "country first" but some people believe in "Modi first", in a sharp reply to questions about party MP Shashi Tharoor's article praising the PM over global outreach on Operation Sindoor. But the jibe was met with an immediate riposte from Tharoor who posted a cryptic note on social media that he did not need "permission" from anyone.
Faced with persistent queries about the Kerala MP, Kharge said, "The people of the opposition said in one voice that they are with the army that is fighting (with Pakistan). We said the country is foremost and we will work together (with the govt). We said 'country first, party later'. Some people say 'Modi first, country later'. What can we do with that."
After Kharge's comments, Tharoor posted on X an image of a bird with the caption - "Don't ask permission to fly. The wings are yours. And the sky belongs to no one..." TNN
