Tharoor's Twitter account hacked

New Delhi: The Twitter handle of Union Minister Shashi Tharoor, one of the most popular Indian politicians on the networking site, was hacked today and some wacky tweets were sent from it to a Pakistani



As the tweets went viral on the social media, Tarar responded, “Okay. What's going on? Who's tweeting to me? I had an ‘affair' with Shashi Tharoor and he's tweeting to me??? How does that work?”

“I know Shashi T& respect him greatly. Hv tweeted/written abt it openly.Feel awful abt wht's being tweeted. Maybe @TwitterIndia shld check?” she said in another tweet.

Another of the hacked tweets read, “Shashi. I'm not crying any more. I'm not falling to pieces.

I'm more lucid than ever.  How little I knew you became visible to me.@mehrtarar.” The messages, with wacky mention of a romantic link between Tarar and Tharoor, were followed by a tweet purportedly from the minister's wife Sunanda Pushkar's account.

“I am sending @mehrtars bbbm msgs to the works to see what a horrible woman she is and how she iis stalking my husband,” a tweet said.

Tharoor's twitter page shows that he has 2.02 million followers.
