Chennai: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Thursday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for expressing concern over the Capitol Hill violence, saying it is a ‘good sign’ that India has distanced itself from the Donald Trump administration, adding that New Delhi will have to work with the new Biden administration to ‘strengthen democracy around the world’.
“I don’t believe it should have any implication for our bilateral relations with the US but it’s a sobering reminder. Prime Minister expressing concern was a good sign, it showed that he and government are distancing themselves from those who believe is baar bhi Trump sarkar,” Shashi Tharoor said.
“I think Delhi will have to work with the new Biden administration as it heals its own country and works with other democracies to strengthen democracy around the world, including in the USA,” Tharoor said.
