Congress MP Shashi Tharoor recalled how a word he coined years ago about geopolitical alignments has come true. Tharoor spoke on light during a dinner invitation to Rashtrapati Bhavan in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was on a two-day state visit. Shashi Tharoor stated that his visit to the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Friday night was more relevant to his duties as chairman of the parliamentary standing committee on external affairs.
“I have returned [to Rashtrapati Bhawan] after a while. For several years, I believe they had a different approach. This time, it appears that they have decided to be more open to other voices, and frankly, because the parliamentary standing committee is specifically concerned with foreign relations, it is useful to have some insight into what goes on in the conversations, the atmosphere, and so on. So I’m delighted to be here for that reason. “Nothing more, nothing less,” Tharoor stated.
