'Will definitely go': Shashi Tharoor confirms invitation for Putin dinner; Rahul, Kharge snubbed

NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has confirmed that he has been invited to the President’s dinner scheduled for Friday in honour of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Speaking to the media outside the Parliament complex, Tharoor said he will “definitely go” to the dinner.This comes as Congress has claimed that invitations were not extended to leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge.Congress leader Pawan Khera accused the government of “breaching all protocols”, claiming that the “decision came as a surprise.””There is no invite for the other LoPs, Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. This comes as a surprise, but we should not be surprised because this government is used to breaching all protocols,” Khera said.Khera also slammed Tharoor for accepting the invitation and said that he “should understand why the game is being played.””It’s quite surprising that an invitation was sent and the invitation was accepted also. Everyone’s conscience has a voice. When my leaders aren’t invited, but I am, we should understand why the game is being played, who is playing the game, and why we shouldn’t be part of it,” he added.(This is a developing story)
