Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's official Twitter account was tonight hacked and some expletives-laden tweets were posted.
Confirming the development, his office said efforts were being made to rectify the problem. After the hacking, Congress raised questions on the digital safety of all Indians and said it reflects disturbing insecurities of the prevalent fascist culture in the country.
Gandhi's account was hacked around 8.45 PM and some messages with profanities were put out, but these were deleted soon thereafter.
The name of the verified Twitter handle "@OfficeOfRG" was also changed.
