Mani Shankar Aiyar clarifies he does not have Twitter account

Former Union Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar on Sunday said somebody has opened a "parody" Twitter account in his name and asserted that he does not have any presence on this social media platform. 

"Somebody has opened a 'parody account' on Twitter in my name and attributed to me a remark I never made," Aiyar said in a statement.

"As some of the respondents to the remark appear not to have understood that it was from a 'parody account', this is to clarify that I do not have a twitter account and have never had one," the 75-year-old former Rajya Sabha member asserted.

Here are some tweets from the parody Twitter account of Mani Shankar Aiyar
 

The Great Khali must change his name. Kejri dsn't like any1 else calling himself 'Great' & Ashu dsn't like any1 else calling himself 'The'.
