Apparently rattled by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's Malabar tour, Leader of Opposition in the Kerala assembly, V D Satheesan on Tuesday said any kind of sectarianism or parallel activities would not be allowed in the party.

Shashi Tharoor's frenetic tour in Kerala has become hugely controversial for the Congress, with a section seething over the MP's political outreach. Congress leaders in Kerala are worried about the possible rise of a "Tharoor faction", sources say.
