Soon after the Shashi Tharoor-led delegation of MPs had <\/a>reached <\/a>the United States on May 24 as part of India\u2019s global outreach on Operation Sindoor, a 1.20-minute clip of Tharoor ‘taking on’ Donald Trump went viral on social media. In the video, the Congress MP comments that Trump’s ‘personal manner’ is not entirely ‘agreeable or pleasant’ for a distinguished American statesman. He also mentions that Trump lacks the class, political heft, statesman-like gravitas and intellectual quality found in former US presidents.<\/p>\n

While Trump claimed a stake <\/a>in India and Pakistan reaching a ceasefire agreement after the flare-up earlier this month, India made it clear\u00a0<\/a>that the decision was bilateral and denied the USA’s role in de-escalating tensions.<\/p>\n

Media outlet NewsX aired the purported clip of Tharoor against the backdrop of the all-party delegation’s visit to the US. The anchor is heard saying, “Let’s also shift our focus to more developments. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and his team members of the all-party delegation on Operation Sindoor are in the United States. On the US soil, Tharoor has made a statement on Donald Trump. In fact, that has been going viral on social media. Let’s take a look”, before playing the clip.<\/p>\n
