Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s office in Thiruvananthapuram was vandalised today by the youth wing activists of the BJP, police said. The saffron party has been lashing out at Tharoor for the last few days after he said that the BJP, if voted to power again, will rewrite the constitution and pave the way for creation of a “Hindu Pakistan”.
The Congress Lok Sabha member from the Kerala capital said the BJP and “Sanghi goondas” orchestrated the incident.
“We have all been warned. The BJPs 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 in Thiruvananthapuram today. Most Hindus will say these Sanghi goondas do not represent us,” he wrote on Twitter.

“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,” wrote Tharoor.
Tharoor, however, was not present in the office when the incident took place. The Congress district committee has decided to file a police complaint against the attack.
The Yuva Morcha activists, shouting slogans against Tharoor, barged into the office and even tied a banner saying “Hindu Pakistan” office.
