‘I am not a travel agent’: Shashi Tharoor refuses to answer question on Rahul Gandhi’s Vietnam trip

On Wednesday, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor declined to address inquiries regarding Rahul Gandhi's purported Vietnam journey, amid criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The opposition leader is believed to have embarked on a four-day respite in Vietnam following his participation in the Congress’s Goy Rakhon Yatra in Goa.

Sources indicate that Gandhi will be away for four days. The INDIA bloc leader played a pivotal role in organizing street demonstrations in Delhi over the past two weeks, galvanizing the opposition coalition and boosting the morale of Congress supporters. Some were apprehended by law enforcement on multiple occasions.

When questioned about Gandhi's absence from Delhi, Tharoor firmly stated, "I am not a travel agent. I cannot provide any comment on another leader's travel plans." He further clarified, "Why did I leave Delhi and come here now? Every person has certain responsibilities. So, I cannot comment on that." The statement was made in Thiruvananthapuram.
