The political sphere is abuzz as CPI Kerala secretary Binoy Viswom launches a bold accusation against Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, alleging he's positioning himself among BJP 'sleeping cells' within the Congress.

The controversy intensifies following Tharoor's acceptance to lead a government-formed, multi-party delegation, sparking criticism due to his exclusion from Congress's recommended list to the Centre.
