Congress distances itself from Tharoor’s praise of Advani, citing internal分歧 over judging polarizing leaders.

Congress disavowed MP Shashi Tharoor’s praise of L.K. Advani on the ex‑BJP leader’s 98th birthday, saying Tharoor “speaks only for himself.” Tharoor defended Advani — arguing leaders shouldn’t be defined by single events like the 1990 Ram Rath Yatra — a split that highlighted party tensions.
