Thiruvananthapuram: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said that he has seen reports claiming that he had held discussions with persons associated with CPI(M) in Dubai, but declined to comment on the matter.
While the ruling CPI(M) dismissed questions about any discussion on Tharoor joining the party as mere speculation, Congress said he is a senior leader, any issues he had would be resolved and denied he was quitting the grand old organisation.
Tharoor, who is currently attending a literature festival in Dubai, was approached by reporters seeking his response to the reports.
He said he saw the reports during his flight to Dubai and that it would not be appropriate to comment on such matters while being in a foreign country.
