Shashi Tharoor A "Guest Artist", Says Congress Leader, Then Retracts | Read

Shashi Tharoor, who was among the 23 Congress leaders who wrote to Sonia Gandhi calling for sweeping changes in the party and a "full-time, effective and active leadership", has been derided as a "guest artist" by a top leader of the Congress in Kerala. But Kodikkunnil Suresh, the Chief Whip of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, has now retracted the remarks he made in the morning. "Shashi Tharoor is certainly not a politician. He came to the Congress party as a guest artist. He is still continuing in the party like a guest artist," Mr Suresh, also a Congress MP, had said.
