Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor tweets "I stand with Modiji on this", here's why
New Delhi: Prominent Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram, MP, Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday evening dug through the tweets of the official twitter handle of PM Narendra Modi’s official website. The former International diplomat then referred to one of the tweets from the handle from 2013 and retweeted it with a comment saying he stands with Narendra Modi on the matter.
In 2013, the twitter handle @narendramodi_in had tweeted on the matter with a border dispute with the Chinese Army when the UPA government was in power at the Centre. The handle had quoted Narendra Modi questioning “China withdraws its forces, but I wonder why Indian forces are withdrawing from Indian Territory? Why did we retreat?”
Retweeting the old tweet, Tharoor took a dig at PM Modi saying he stands with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s question of 2013 and added that he should now question it himself as he is the Prime Minister of the country and a similar situation is prevailing on the border.
Lately, Narendra Modi led BJP government at the Centre has been under attack by the opposition due to the border dispute with China and the standoff between the armed forces of the two countries. Several twitter campaigns have been run by the opposition parties and twitter users, calling out on the Central government for failing to manage the situation at the border.
China withdraws its forces but I wonder why Indian forces are withdrawing from Indian territory? Why did we retreat? : @narendramodi

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
