THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Thiruvananthapuram Congress MP Shashi Tharoor set the cat among the pigeons on Thursday when he criticised late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay Gandhi for imposing the Emergency, in an article to commemorate its 50 years, leaving Congress leaders in Kerala jittery.
No sooner did the Emergency article surface, that veteran Congress leader and former lawmaker K. Muraleedharan minced no words and asked Tharoor to decide "which party he is in at present."
“At the moment a discussion on Emergency is irrelevant. Incidentally Prime Minister Indira Gandhi herself had explained why Emergency was clamped, ” said Muraleedharan.
