Congress maintains silence on Tharoor's remark

Congress today maintained silence over the controversial remark by Union minister Shashi Tharoor that Saudi Arabia can be a "valuable interlocutor" between India and Pakistan.
    
There were no reactions either from the AICC or any Congress spokesman on the matter, which has raised the hackles of the opposition.
     
However, some Congress leaders, on condition of anonymity, expressed their anger against Tharoor for "landing the government in trouble again and again."
