Congress MP Shashi Tharoor stressed the importance of prioritizing national interests over party allegiance, drawing inspiration from Jawaharlal Nehru’s words. Tharoor’s stance arises amidst internal party critiques, particularly following his backing of the government on national security issues and his commendation of PM Modi’s diplomatic initiatives. Tharoor firmly believes that the country should come first and that political parties are merely tools to enhance the nation’s welfare.
