New Delhi: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has conceded that he was left with an egg on his face in opposing India's stance when the Russia-Ukraine war broke out and said due to the policy that was adopted, the country was now in a position where it could make a difference for lasting peace.
Tharoor had criticized India's stance when Russia attacked Ukraine and called for condemnation of the aggression. The Congress MP said the policy adopted by India following the outbreak of the conflict meant that the country actually had a prime minister who can hug both the president of Ukraine and the president in Moscow two weeks apart and be accepted in both places.
During an interactive session at the Raisina Dialogue in Delhi, the former Minister of State for External Affairs said, "I am still wiping the egg off my face because I am one person in the parliamentary debate who actually criticized the Indian position at the time back in February 2022."
