New Delhi: Though there was a show of unity in the beginning, confusion prevailed and politics creeped in by late Monday evening when external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj denied asking Congress MP Shashi Tharoor to draft a resolution to be adopted by both Houses over the death sentence against Mr Jadhav.
Earlier in the day there were reports that in a rare show of unity by political rivals, Ms Swaraj had asked Mr Tharoor to draft a resolution.
Hours after the news broke that Mr Tharoor had accepted Ms Swaraj’s “request” after taking permission from the Congress high command to draft the resolution, Ms Swaraj rubbished the reports and tweeted, “There is no dearth of talent in my ministry. I have the assistance of very able secretaries.”
She also posted the news report claiming Mr Tharoor had been asked by her to draft the resolution.
The report had stated that “former minister of state for foreign affairs, will help the government draft the ‘Statement of Solidarity’ on the issue of Kulbhushan Jadhav.
