Activists of the BJP's youth wing defaced the office of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, police said, days after he sparked a row with remarks that the BJP, if voted to power again, will pave the way for creation of a "Hindu Pakistan". Members of BJYM raised slogans against Tharoor and poured black oil in front of his office.

"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," Tharoor tweeted.

"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 in Thiruvananthapuram today. Most Hindus will say these Sanghi goondas do not represent us," he wrote.
