Parties feel you are disloyal to them – but what is your first priority – nation is the first priority, said Shashi Tharoor.

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday addressed his rumoured rift with the party’s leadership for praising the Narendra Modi government over Operation Sindoor, saying that one has to prioritise national security over a political party.
While addressing a gathering in Kerala’s Kochi, a student asked him a question about his reportedly tattered ties with the party leadership.
He said that leaders across the party lines need to cooperate with other parties for the sake of national security.
In a veiled reply to the Congress, the Thiruvananthapuram MP said, “Parties feel you are disloyal to them – but what is your first priority – nation is the first priority.”
Tharoor shared the video of the interaction on X platform with the caption, “In Kochi today, I was asking inevitable question by a high school student. While I have been steering clear of such political discussions in public, I felt a student deserved a response.”
