CPM reacted after Congress MP Shashi Tharoor slammed Kerala government over its ₹10-crore aid to Turkey after the 2023 earthquake. "Have great regards for Shashi Tharoor. But these comments are symptoms of selective amnesia. It's...puzzling why he had to belittle Kerala when he knows very well Modi govt itself had launched Operation Dost to help Turkey," CPM's John Brittas said.
