The Congress today slammed its senior leader Shashi Tharoor for continuing to praise Prime Minister Narendra Modi ignoring the party's line.

While senior leader and AICC Disciplinary Committee Chairman A K Antony said the party had earlier also cautioned Tharoor against lavishing praises on Modi,

Congress spokesperson P C Chacko came down heavily on his colleague. "On a similar occasion in the past the party has cautioned Tharoor against this after the disciplinary committee examined the matter. I don't want to respond to the latest instance as I have some limitations as the head of the disciplinary committee," Antony told reporters.

He was reacting to the laudatory comments made by Tharoor on Modi in Kolkotta yesterday.
