Congress Faces Internal Rift as Tharoor and Tewari Excluded from Operation Sindoor Debate

A major political controversy has erupted within the Indian National Congress after prominent MPs Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari were excluded from the party's list of speakers for the high-profile Operation Sindoor debate in Parliament. Both leaders, known for their oratory and diplomatic roles in India's foreign outreach post-Operation Sindoor, either declined to speak or were sidelined, fueling speculation of internal divisions. Tharoor cryptically cited a 'maun vrat' (vow of silence), while Tewari posted poetic, patriotic messages hinting at dissatisfaction. The BJP seized on the situation, mocking Congress for not utilizing its articulate members and suggesting the party is struggling with internal cohesion. The episode highlights growing tensions within Congress at a critical moment of national security debate.
