Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday met with members of the Operation Sindoor delegation, who had recently returned from their official visits abroad.
Describing the meeting as “pleasant,” senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor noted that the Prime Minister took time to personally thank the delegations for their service, spending over an hour conversing with various groups.
“He was certainly very pleasant to all of us. He saw this as an opportunity to thank the delegations for their service, and he was very pleasant and spent more than an hour with all of us. He walked around the lawn to different tables, talking to different groups of people,” Shashi Tharoor said after the meeting.
“It wasn’t a formal meeting at all. It was a good, lively, informal meeting. We all shared many things with him, and with time, it will be apparent. A general proposition I noticed was that every country said it was a very good idea for Members of Parliament to visit them. We all suggested that we should make this a practice more often. The PM certainly seemed to take that idea onboard,” Tharoor added.
