Hacker takes over Rahul's Twitter account, posts expletives
Several tweets were posted in quick succession and were later deleted.
New Delhi: In a major embarrassment for the Congress party, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi’s official Twitter account was hacked on Wednesday evening and many abusive tweets were posted on the timeline.
The official handle which was called @OfficeofRg was renamed as @Officeofretardgan. Several tweets were posted in quick succession and referred to ‘my corrupt f***ing family’.
One tweet read: "Now, to all the people out there: Fight corruption. Fight retarded politicians like this. It's time for a revolution!". In another tweet, the hacker said "We are legion. The untouchable spy force. F*** with us and we unleash all your data!".
The tweets were being constantly deleted, but more new tweets cropped up.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala reacted by tweeting, “Such unscrupulous,unethical&roguish conduct of venal trolls 2hack @OfficeOfRG reflects disturbing insecurities of prevalent fascist culture.”
