As the Congress is all set to make its public rally on the Kozhikode beach on November 23 to extend support to the Palestinian people a grand event, speculation is still rife if Shashi Tharoor, party working committee member and MP, will attend it or not.
Mr. Tharoor had stirred up a controversy on October 26 at another pro-Palestine rally organised by party ally Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), when he referred to the Hamas action on Israel on October 7 as a “terrorist attack” that led to a “disproportionate response”.
It was interpreted as a statement favouring Israel and portraying the Palestinian resistance in a bad light.
