The Congress party’s official account @INCIndia was found to be hacked. Abusive tweets were posted on the Congress’s account, although those tweets were removed within 30 minutes. The party’s website inc.in has also been found to be hacked.

The hacking incident took place hours after Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter account  hacked. “It’s a huge question mark on the digital security,” Gandhi said.

Party spokesman Randeep Surjewala tweeted immediately afterward, that, “Such unscrupulous, unethical and roguish conduct of venal trolls to hack @OfficeOfRG reflects disturbing insecurities of prevalent fascist culture.”

The official Congress Twitter account has 1.38 million followers.
