THAROOR-CONG 2 LST

Asked whether Tharoor's selection as a Minister was a
wrong decision, Natarajan said, "It is the prerogative of the
Prime Minister and I will talk only about his (Tharoor)
statement."

To a question whether disciplinary action will be taken
against him or any clarification will be sought, she said it
is for the High Command to decide.

"I am only commenting on his statement. It is absolutely
insensible," she said when asked whether the party committed a
mistake by giving him a ticket to contest Lok Sabha (Lower
House of Indian Parliament) elections.

Tharoor was at the centre of a controversy recently for
staying at a five-star hotel for over three months at a time
when the Government was talking about austerity in view of the
economic slowdown.

The Minister was asked by Indian Finance Minister Pranab
Mukherjee to vacate his hotel room after a news report
appeared about his stay. PTI AMR
