Congress backs Tharoor, says no pressure on him to quit

January 07, 2015 10:09

Amid demands from the opposition that Kerala MP Shashi Tharoor quit after the Delhi police confirmed that his wife Sunanda Pushkar was murdered and filed an FIR in the case, the Congress has come out in support of Tharoor, saying that there is no pressure on him to resign.

Sources said that the party members saw no reason for him to resign and further added that the law would take its own course in the matter.

Yesterday, the Delhi police filed an FIR in the case, after the medical report confirmed that Sunanda Pushkar, who died in January last year, did not pass away due to natural causes.
