Tharoor issues statement after BJP targets Rahul Gandhi using his praise for PM Modi

After BJP targeted Rahul Gandhi using Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's praise for PM Narendra Modi, Tharoor said he finds it extraordinary that a statement about protecting Indian sailors is being twisted into partisan political controversy. "Concern for Indian lives should unite us, not divide us," Tharoor said. He had praised PM Modi for speaking about the matter with Donald Trump.
