Shashi Tharoor Excluded From Congress's Nilambur Campaigners List, Says He 'Wasn't Invited'

Last Updated: Shashi Tharoor has been excluded from the party's star campaigners list for the Nilambur by-poll, reportedly after he alleged he wasn't invited to campaign. Congress has reportedly excluded MP Shashi Tharoor from its list of star campaigners for the by-poll for the Nilambur Assembly constituency in Kerala. The development, according to media reports, came after Tharoor alleged he was not invited by his party to campaign in Nilambur. The Congress MP had publicly expressed displeasure, explaining why he did not go for the election campaign there. 'In Wayanad, there was a sign of campaigning for Priyanka (Gandhi). It is true that there are some differences of opinion with the present Congress leadership, but responding more will not put the party in crisis on election day," Tharoor was quoted as saying. 'I was not invited by the party for campaigning, but that's alright, because I too, at that time, was abroad," he said, referring to his delegation's visit to significant world capitals to highlight India's stand against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and its zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. 'I want to wish our candidate only the best. I have known him for a long time personally. The congress cadres who went from Trivandrum informed me the campaign was good," Tharoor said. Voting in the by-poll for the Nilambur Assembly constituency in Kerala commenced at 7 am on Thursday. Polling commenced amidst tight security arrangements, including the deployment of central security forces and police, along with live monitoring of the by-election process through an extensive webcasting system. People began arriving early in the morning at the 263 polling booths across the constituency, which has over 2.32 lakh voters who will elect their representative from among 10 candidates. Among the 10, the key contenders are ruling LDF pick M Swaraj, Aryadan Shoukath (Congress-led UDF), Trinamool Congress state convener and independent candidate PV Anvar and Mohan George of the BJP-led NDA. The by-election was necessitated after Anvar resigned as MLA of the constituency following his severing of ties with the CPI(M)-led LDF over certain allegations by him against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his close aides.

Huge blow to Indian diplomacy: Congress on Trump-Munir lunch

The Congress on Thursday attacked the government after US President Donald Trump hosted Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir for lunch, saying it is a "huge blow" to Indian diplomacy . Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said Field Marshal Asim Munir is not the Head of State or Head of government of Pakistan and is the Chief of Army Staff, yet he gets invited by Trump for lunch and receives much praise. "This is the same man whose atrocious and inflammatory remarks formed the immediate backdrop to the brutal Pahalgam terror attacks orchestrated by the establishment over which he presides," Ramesh said on X. "It is a huge blow to Indian diplomacy (and huglomacy too)," he said, taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress has been taking swipes at Modi, giving "hugs" to foreign heads of state during his meetings with them at international or bilateral engagements, using the term "huglomacy" for it. Live Events Meanwhile, Trump has said the two very smart leaders of India and Pakistan decided not to continue a war that could have turned nuclear, a first in weeks, he did not claim credit for stopping hostilities between the two neighbouring nations. Trump made the remarks while speaking to the media in the Oval Office after hosting Munir for lunch at the White House on Wednesday. Trump also said he was honoured to meet Munir. When asked if Iran was discussed in his meeting with Munir, Trump said: Well, they know Iran very well, better than most, and they're not happy about anything. It's not that they're bad with Israel. They know them both, actually, but they probably, maybe they know Iran better, but they see what's going on, and he agreed with me. "The reason I had him here, I want to thank him for not going into the war, ending the war. And I want to thank, as you know, Prime Minister Modi just left a little while ago, and we're working on a trade deal with India. We're working on a trade deal with Pakistan," the president said. "They were both here, but I was with Modi a few weeks ago. He was here actually, but now we speak to him. And I'm so happy that two smart people, plus you know, people on their staff too, but two smart people, two very smart people decided not to keep going with that war. That could have been a nuclear war. Those are two nuclear powers, big ones, big, big nuclear powers, and they decided that," he said. This is the first time in weeks that Trump did not take credit for stopping the military conflict after India launched Operation Sindoor and destroyed terror infrastructure in Pakistan-controlled areas following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. Since May 10, when India and Pakistan decided to stop the military conflict, Trump has repeatedly claimed on multiple occasions that he helped settle tensions between the two countries and that he told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours that America would do a lot of trade with them if they stopped the conflict. Earlier on Thursday, with Trump repeating his persistent claim that he stopped a war between India and Pakistan, hours after speaking with PM Modi and before meeting Munir, the Congress claimed that he has deflated the hype created by Modi's "PR machinery" and said the prime minister must refute the claims made by the American leader publicly. Congress' media and publicity department head, Pawan Khera, asked whether the word of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of External Affairs is now so weak that they can't even clearly present India's position in a half-hour call with the US President. Khera's remarks came after Modi spoke with Trump and set the record straight that India had paused strikes on Pakistan during Operation Sindoor following a request from Islamabad and not due to mediation or a trade deal offer by the US. In his 35-minute phone call with Trump on Tuesday, Modi briefed the US President on Operation Sindoor and made it clear that it has never accepted any third-party mediation and will never accept it in the future, according to Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. Hours after his phone conversation with Modi, Trump repeated his claim that he stopped a war between India and Pakistan. In a post on X, Khera quoted Trump - "I stopped the war. I spoke to Prime Minister Modi last night. We're going to sign a trade deal very soon." "Once again, Donald Trump has deflated the hype created by Modi ji's PR machinery. What we were told through the Foreign Secretary about the contents of a telephone conversation has been publicly contradicted by Trump," the Congress leader said. Is the word of Modi and the Ministry of External Affairs now so weak that they can't even clearly present India's position in a half-hour call with the US President? he asked. "When Trump hyphenated India and Pakistan, the government stayed silent. It was the opposition that objected," Khera said. "Now, Trump has hyphenated Modi and (Pakistan Army chief Asim) Munir - and again, the government remains mute. But the opposition will never accept this insult to the office of India's prime minister," he said. Trump is making these claims himself, neither through officials, nor in private phone calls - he's making them repeatedly, publicly, Khera pointed out. "It is the prime minister who must refute these claims, and he must do so publicly," he asserted.
