Sandeep Dikshit Slams Shashi Tharoor: 'Not a Serious Person' on Foreign Policy
•Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit criticized Shashi Tharoor for backing the Modi government's restraint on the US-Israel attack on Iran.
•Dikshit stated Tharoor 'shouldn't be taken seriously' as he takes positions without understanding issues, calling his remarks 'not those of a serious person'.
•He argued that silence on such international incidents, like the US actions in Venezuela and Iran, can lead to dangerous precedents.
•Dikshit emphasized the importance of taking a stand on larger principles, drawing a parallel to the consequences of neutrality during Hitler's reign.
•He contrasted a government official signing a condolence register with the Prime Minister's silence on the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, highlighting the PM's role in foreign policy.
