What was the urgency in announcing without confirmation: Sumitra Mahajan slams Shashi Tharoor for sharing her fake demise news

@the_news_21

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor announced on Twitter that former Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan is dead and poured his condolence. However, this was fake news and   Shashi Tharoor had to face backlash.

Reacting to the news about her death being circulated on social media without any confirmation, Sumitra Mahajan said she was shocked and slammed news channels for running reports about her demise without verifying with the Indore administration.

“How could news channels run a report on my so called demise without even cross checking with the Indore administration? My niece refuted Mr. Tharoor on Twitter but what was the urgency in announcing without confirmation?,” she told news agency ANI.

Even the former Lok Sabha speaker’s son, Mandar, put out a video clip, saying his mother is perfectly fine and urged people not to believe in false news being spread about her.
