Parekh, in his talk, said Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi's policies presented India in a light of "moral self-righteousness".
A normal Congressman would have either protested or just walked out, but Tharoor was made of different stuff as he agreed with the view point and said he had pointed this out in his books.
Tharoor endorsed the criticism that the foreign policy of Jawaharlal Nehru, the country's first Prime Minister and the Congress' biggest icon, was a "moralistic running commentary".
