The meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and New York City's Mayor Zohran Mamdani signals a new chapter in global politics. This pivotal encounter has stirred a debate in India, fueled by a cryptic post from Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. Tharoor extolled the meeting as a true manifestation of democratic spirit, suggesting parallels to ongoing internal disputes within Congress.
For years, Trump and Mamdani had exchanged sharp critiques, yet on Friday, they met face-to-face for the first time at the White House. Historically divided on issues such as political polarization, immigration, crime, and housing, the duo appeared surprisingly cooperative.
During the meeting, when a journalist questioned Mamdani about labeling Trump a fascist, Trump interjected with a jesting tone, “You can say it, I don’t mind.” This amiable exchange signaled a shift in their relationship.

Sharing this very video, Shashi Tharoor remarked, "This is how democracy should function. Fight fiercely for your beliefs during elections, but once they’re over, collaborate for the nation’s benefit. I hope to see more of this in India and am striving to contribute my part."
This comment from Tharoor comes amidst his recent internal party controversies over praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policies and initiatives. Amid distancing movements by Congress leadership, Tharoor's latest post is stirring diplomatic conjecture, raising eyebrows in political circles.
