Ending days of speculation, Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Shashi Tharoor, MP, has confirmed his participation at the party’s rally in support of the Palestinian people, to be held on the Kozhikode beach on Thursday evening.
This was informed by functionaries of the Kozhikode District Congress committee here on Wednesday.
So far, the DCC leaders have been saying that though Mr. Tharoor had been invited to the event, they could not confirm his participation as he had to attend a family wedding the same day. There were reports that a section of State-level party leaders were not keen on the Thiruvananthapuram MP attending the rally in view of the adverse reaction to his remarks against Hamas at the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) rally last month.
