Washington/IBNS, Feb. 15 -- In contrast to his party's reactions to Narendra Modi's US visit, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has lauded the Prime Minister's meeting with US President Donald Trump saying he was "encouraged" by the outcome of the bilateral engagement.

Tharoor, who is the country's former Minister of State for External Affairs, said the US' promise to sell F-35 stealth aircraft will further embolden India's defence sector.

"It looks to me as if we have got pretty much all that we could have expected at this time," he added at a time his party is trolling the Prime Minister's visit on social media.
