Hell hath no fury: Shashi Tharoor's bizarre tweets sent by livid wife

Congress minister Shashi Tharoor had a bitter pill to swallow for dinner on Wednesday. And he was neither at a television debate taking stock of what the nation wants to know nor did he manage to catch Subramanian Swamy’s fancy that particular evening. The blow was dealt to Tharoor by a now familiar frenemy - Twitter. Yesterday evening, a series of bizarre tweets sprung up on Tharoor’s timeline that left admirers and detractors gobsmacked alike. The tweets referred to one Mehr Tarar, a Pakistani journalist, whose articles Tharoor is found to be tweeting out quite often. Most of them claimed several hyperbolic forms of love for Tharoor, on his own Twitter handle. Following were a few tweets that were sent out: [caption id=“attachment_1342777” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Sunanda Tharoor and Shashi Tharoor in happier times. AFP.[/caption] @mehrtarar I love you, Shashi Tharoor. And I go while in love with you, irrevocably, irreversibly, hamesha. Bleeding, but always your Mehr, 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 You unfollowed me. You don’t RT me and you don’t answer me on twitter. I can live with your favourites. I have your personal validation have your personal validation of my words, I don’t need any public one. For that I will wait until we are together publically really mehr Tarar, replied expressing shock and surprise at these tweets. Soon, Tharoor declared that his account has been hacked and will be not functioning for a few days before the issues are sorted out. Just when the dust was about to start settling, Sunanda Pushkar, Tharoor’s wife declared that neither her or her husband’s account has been hacked. In fact, it was she, who had logged into Tharoor’s account and posted messages that Tarar had sent her husband to tell the world that her husband was being stalked. She confirmed to The Economic Times that she is the one who sent out the tweets: “Our accounts have not been hacked and I have been sending out these tweets. I cannot tolerate this. This is a Pakistani woman who is an ISI (Inter Services Intelligence) agent, and she is stalking my husband. And you know how men are. He is flattered by the attention. I took upon myself the crimes of this man during IPL (Indian Premier League). I will not allow this to be done to me. I just can’t tolerate this. I have nothing more to say,” she said, speaking on the phone.  Tharoor in the other hand, claimed to have been ‘mystified’ by the developments and refused to comment. Mehr Tarar, for her part has taken to her own Twitter account, but has refused to comment on the tweets, saying that Pushkar was ‘out of her mind’: “I have nothing to say to a woman clearly out of her mind. To be called an ISI agent, a stalker..I have nothing to add. Just shows who she is” I’m not avoiding answering any of u. I just consider it beneath me 2 respond 2 personal attacks on me here.Not a Jerry Springer-reality show
