Shashi Tharoor's full statement on his sacking...
"I have seen the press release issued by the AICC and, as a loyal worker
of the Congress Party, accept the decision of the Party President to
relieve me of my responsibilities as a Spokesman.
"I am in
politics to serve the people of India, and my constituency,
Thiruvananthapuram, through my service to the Congress Party. This I
have always done with utmost sincerity and commitment and I will
continue to do so. Whatever responsibilities the Party has entrusted to
me I have fulfilled without reservation, and I fully recognize it is the
prerogative of the Party to alter these responsibilities.
"While I
have not yet seen the KPCC complaint referred to, and while I would
have welcomed an opportunity to respond to it and draw the attention of
the AICC leadership to the full range of my statements and writings on
contemporary political issues, I am now treating this matter as closed
and have no further comment to make."
