THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP youth wing activists, who marched to Shashi Tharoor ’s Thiruvananthapuram office on Monday to protest his ‘Hindu Pakistan’ remark, vandalised the Congress MP’s office and also demanded his resignation.

The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha members poured black oil on the office premises and placed a banner in front of the office, saying ‘Pakistan Office’. They also laid a wreath and hoisted a black flag on the premises.

In response to the incident, Tharoor said, “I still stick to what I have said. Vandals attacked my constituency office in Thiruvananthapuram. They poured black engine oil, drove away innocent citizens waiting with their petitions, put up offensive banners and shouted slogans asking me to go to Pakistan.”

“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 and violence. That is the face they have shown in Thiruvananthapuram today. Most Hindus will say these Sanghi goondas do not represent us,” Tharoor tweeted later. tnn
