The Congress leader says he banked on "a reliable source" in putting out his tweet
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor had to delete one of his tweets announcing the demise of former Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Thursday night after BJP leaders pointed out that she was hale and hearty. Tharoor later said he was relieved that Ms. Mahajan is doing fine and said he banked on "a reliable source" in putting out his tweet. "I am relieved if that is so. I received this from what I thought was a reliable source.... Happy to retract and appalled that anyone would make up such news," he said in a tweet while replying to a message that she was fine.
