Split within Congress over BRICS! Tharoor praises it, while Rashid Alvi calls it a ‘spectacle’
The 18th BRICS summit is being hosted by India in New Delhi. Leaders from 11 nations, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, have arrived in India. The entire world has its eyes on this major global event. However, conflicting views have emerged within the Congress party regarding BRICS. While Congress MP Shashi Tharoor describes the BRICS summit as a reflection of India’s diplomatic strength and a major achievement, Congress leader Rashid Alvi has targeted the government over the event, going so far as to label it a ‘spectacle’.
