Congress leader Udit Raj has recently taken aim at Shashi Tharoor for his comments on the Pahalgam terror attack, raising doubts about Tharoor’s loyalty to the party and insinuating that he may be speaking on behalf of the BJP. Raj has openly questioned Tharoor’s analogy of the attack to the intelligence lapse in Israel following the Hamas strike, and has also probed Tharoor’s understanding of terrorist incidents in the United States after the September 11 attacks. These criticisms from Raj come amidst a backdrop of internal strife within the Congress party, with factions aligning themselves either with the old guard or with the emerging leadership. Tharoor, a prominent Congress figure known for his articulate and often controversial statements, has not yet responded to Raj’s allegations. This latest episode highlights the ongoing power struggle within the Congress party, as different leaders vie for influence and control over the direction of the party. As the political landscape in India continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how these internal dynamics will impact the party’s future prospects and ability to effectively challenge the ruling BJP.
