Congress Leader Mocks Tharoor For Hailing 2016 Uri Strike | 'Super Spokesperson Of The BJP' Says Raj

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has triggered intra-party backlash over comments made in Panama about India's cross-border military actions. Tharoor stated that the 2016 Uri strike was India’s first-ever breach of the LoC for a surgical strike, drawing criticism for seemingly ignoring past Congress-led operations. He later clarified that his remarks were twisted by “zealots,” emphasizing he was only referring to reprisals for terror attacks. Congress leaders, including Udit Raj, slammed Tharoor—sarcastically suggesting he join the BJP as their “super spokesperson,” intensifying the controversy. #ShashiTharoor #Congress #PanamaRemarks #SurgicalStrikes #IndiaPakistan #UriStrike #CrossBorderStrike #LOC #TharoorControversy #PoliticalRow #UditRaj #CongressVsTharoor #BJP #ModiGovt #IndianArmy #IndianPolitics #NationalSecurity #PanamaEvent #TharoorStatement #LoC #KargilWar #TerrorStrike #PoliticalDrama #BJPVsCongress #Clarification #BreakingNews #IndianDiplomacy #Zealots #MediaTwist #TharoorVsCongress Also Read Savarkar Kin Requests Access to Book Cited by Rahul Gandhi in Defamation Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/savarkar-kin-seeks-access-to-book-cited-by-rahul-011-4166579.html?ref=DMDesc Loose Cannon?
