The Modi government has finalized an all-party delegation set to visit key partner countries, aiming to highlight India’s ongoing fight against terrorism and the success of Operation Sindoor. Among the notable names included is senior Indian National Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. However, the Congress party has expressed dissatisfaction with how the delegation was constituted. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh stated, “If the inclusion of Congress MPs was important, there should have been a discussion with our party leadership. They could have asked us to suggest the names. In our country, political parties are the backbone of democracy. Parties form the government; the government does not form parties. We follow a party system, and this process has cast a shadow over it. What kind of politics is this? Will the government decide which of our MPs will be part of such delegations?” Ramesh clarified that the issue is not with the individuals selected. “I have no objections to the names chosen — they are close friends, experienced, and have been working on foreign and defence policy for years. But the process followed is flawed. It’s a questionable approach and should not have been adopted.”

We have never had such a resolute and committed Prime Minister before.”

Amidst the ongoing Delimitation row, at the First Joint Committee meeting on Delimitation called by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai criticized the DMK government, stating, "In the last four years since the DMK came to power, Tamil Nadu's interests have been repeatedly sacrificed for political gains. The Chief Minister has never visited Kerala to resolve issues affecting the state, yet today, he has invited the Kerala CM to discuss an artificial issue of his own making. Our objection is to the TN CM for inviting the Kerala CM instead of addressing Tamil Nadu’s real problems. Furthermore, Annamalai alleged that Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is maneuvering against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. He has rushed to Tamil Nadu to project himself as a pan-India leader while portraying Siddaramaiah as merely a regional leader.
