A group of activists from Bhartiya Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of BJP, vandalised Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s office in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday afternoon. They destroyed the original name board and put up a board reading ‘Tharoor’s Pakistan office’.
In protest against the Tharoor’s ‘Hindu Pakistan’ remarks, they also poured black oil at the entrance of the office. Reportedly, the Congress leader or anyone else was not at the office during the attack. The BJP workers fled the spot when the police reached.
Tharoor took to Twitter to condemn the attack. He wrote, “We have all been warned. The BJP’s answer to the simple question “have you given up the dream of a Hindu Rashtra?” is apparently vandalism & violence.”
1/2 Today @YUVAMORCHABJP vandals attacked my constituency office in Thiruvananthapuram. They poured black engine oil on signs, doors, walls & gate, drove away innocent citizens waiting with their petitions, put up offensive banners & shouted slogans asking me to go to Pakistan.

2/2 We have all been warned. The BJP’s answer to the simple question “have you given up the dream of a Hindu Rashtra?” is apparently vandalism & violence. That is the face they have shown inThiruvananthapuram today. Most Hindus will say these Sanghi goondas do not represent us.
