THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Shashi Tharoor and Sunanada Pushkar have reacted strongly to Subramanian Swamy 's allegations that Tharoor had used his office to release his son from UAE jail Tharoor termed Swamy's allegations as "a bigot's perverse political agenda ", while Sunanda Pushkar launched a scathing attack against Swamy through Twitter."With elections looming, people of Swamy's ilk are reaching for any stone to fling. But even by his own low standards, it is contemptible to attack family members in pursuance of a bigot's perverse political agenda," Tharoor said while reacting to Swamy's allegations.While reacting to tweet by Swamy made on Thursday evening asking if it includes surrogate children too, Tharoor said that Sunanda's son studies in the UAE and anyone who knows anything about UAE knows that if anyone is involved in drugs he would be jailed and deported.Sunanda's son is peacefully studying and working there. Anyone who is aware of the penalties in the UAE for such alleged offences can understand how absurd Swamy's claims are. "In short, there are no charges, no such incident and no misuse of office involved. It is strange that a straightforward denial is sought to be portrayed by Swamy as evidence of a guilty conscience," Tharoor added.If Swamy has any evidence to support his irresponsible statements, he should produce it. Otherwise, he should withdraw his vile imputation, said Tharoor. He reiterated that his sons live in New York and have never even visited the UAE. They have never been charged with any offence anywhere, let alone been jailed. His sons have never been involved in any offences of any kind, whether drug-related or even traffic offences. They are upright and law-abiding individuals leading responsible lives in New York, far removed from the dirt of Swamy's politics.However, Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Tharoor, unleashed a scathing attack through Twitter claiming that "Swamy was involved in a sex scandal". "Men who use family especially kids without fathers as a political mohra (con) should be publicly flogged disgusting. I agree a pathetic man who doesn't even have a relationship with his own daughter sad I thought educated," she said in the tweet.
