New Delhi: An angry Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday pulled up senior party leader Shashi Tharoor for not following the party line. Sonia has accused Tharoor of 'always doing this'.
Tharoor had reportedly said he was against disrupting Parliament and had suggested that Congress should allow Parliament to function and not force adjournments through disruptions.
Meanwhile, other Congressmen also accused Tharoor of breaching party discipline.
Tharoor's remarks came at a time when the Congress has upped the ante against the Bharatiya Janata Party and demanding resignations of Union Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje on Lalit Modi row and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on multi-crore Vyapam scam.
Earlier, Tharoor praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he leaves a "positive impression" during his foreign visits and that he does a "right thing" in which ever country he travels.
Tharoor, a former Minister of State for External affairs who has earned his party's wrath before for his praise of Modi, however, said, there has been no change on India's foreign policy front as the prime minister has been pursuing the ones framed by the previous UPA government.
