Shashi Tharoor: 'No BJP Or Congress Foreign Policy, Only Indian National Interest'

In a year-end interview with India Today, Congress MP and Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, Shashi Tharoor, discusses the geopolitical turbulence of 2025. Tharoor reflects on 'Trumpian turbulence' defining the year, the impact of US tariffs on India, and the 'Operation Sindoor' fallout. He addresses the 'fragile' situation in Pakistan, warning that India must be prepared for 'military adventurism' despite the ceasefire. Tharoor also critiques the notion of a rapprochement with China, stating, 'China is sitting on our frontiers and nibbling away at our territory.' He emphasizes the need for a bipartisan approach to foreign policy, asserting, 'There's no such thing as a BJP foreign policy... only Indian national interest.'
