"Waving cricket bats, hundreds of Congress activists gave a roaring welcome to former minister of state for external affairs Shahshi Tharoor as he arrived here Saturday on his first visit to his home state after quitting over the IPL row.

As Congress workers sang his praises, members of the CPI's youth wing waved his and his friend Pushkar's posters. Banners carried by them read: "Should Kerala accept Tharoor's behaviour?"
Similar posters were seen pasted in several parts of the Kerala capital."
