THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: There are strong indications that Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who contested against Mallikarjun Kharge in the AICC president election, has been given an undeclared ban at the party level. Rumours regarding this are becoming stronger as the Congress and its feeder organizations have withdrawn from the programs in which Tharoor was supposed to attend.
Earlier, the Youth Congress had withdrawn from a seminar in Kozhikode in which Shashi Tharoor was supposed to participate. Party sources said that the withdrawal of the Youth Congress was based on the direction of top leaders not to hold the program with the participation of Shashi Tharoor. Koduvally-based Jawahar Foundation will conduct the seminar in the wake of the withdrawal of the Youth Congress.
