Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said that while his party believed in putting India first, “some people” placed Prime Minister Narendra Modi before the country.
Kharge’s comment at a press conference came in response to a question about an article written by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor.
Tharoor, who headed a parliamentary delegation for the diplomatic outreach undertaken by the Union government following the Pahalgam terror attack and the four-day conflict with Pakistan, had praised Modi’s approach in an article in The Hindu on Monday.
The Thiruvananthapuram MP described Modi’s “energy, dynamism and willingness to engage” as a “prime asset” for India on the world stage, adding that the prime minister deserved more support.
The Congress has repeatedly accused the Union government of weakening Indian diplomacy and leaving the country “isolated” globally.
When asked about Tharoor’s article at the press conference in New Delhi on Wednesday, Kharge said: “I can’t read English well. His [Tharoor’s] language is very good. That’s why we have made him a Congress Working Committee member.”
Opposition parties had supported the Indian military during Operation Sindoor, said the Congress chief.
“We said that the country is supreme and we will work together for the country,” Kharge said. “We said ‘country first, party later’. Some people say ‘Modi first, country later’. What can we do about that?”
