An eclectic mix of diplomats, socialites, writers and journalists were present at the occasion to felicitate Tharoor and his wife.
Politicians cutting across party lines including several ministers such as Home Minister P.Chidambaram, Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and New and Renewable Energy Minister Farooq Abdullah and Bharatiya Janata Party’s L.K.Advani and Arun Jaitley were among those who attended.
