After Congress leader Shashi Tharoor mistakenly sent out a condolence message for the family of former Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan upon her demise, it was learnt that she was actually hale and hearty. However, rumours about her death started doing the rounds on social media.
Later, upon learning that Sumitra Mahajan was fine, Tharoor again tweeted saying, "I am relieved if that is so. I received this from what I thought was a reliable source."
Reacting to the tweet of the Congress MP, Mahajan asked, “My niece refuted Mr. Tharoor on Twitter but what was the urgency in announcing without confirmation?” She also pulled up news channels for telecasting report without cross-checking with the 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”, asked Mahajan.

In a tweet late on Thursday night, Tharoor said, “Saddened to learn of the passing of former Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Majahan.”
“I remember many positive interactions with her, including when she and the late Sushma Swaraj asked me to lead a Parliamentary delegation to BRICS in MOSCOW. My condolences to her family and prayers: Om Shanti!” he added.
