Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday raised concerns about the recent US capture of the Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and said that the "law of the jungle of might is right" appears to be taking over from the old principles of liberal international order. Tharoor said that in his purely private individual capacity, he was deeply concerned with the violations of international law that have taken place in connection with the issue. But I think Indians should understand that the country's natural resources belong to the country. Any country's resources belong to itself, that how those resources are used should be the prerogative of the representatives of that country," the Congress MP said. When reporters pointed out that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has agreed to meet Trump, Tharoor said that every country has its national interest foremost in mind.
