PM website account hacked: AAP’s twitter post creates flutter

A tweet from the Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday afternoon took many people by shock as a banner image saying "HACKED" was shared. However, AAP account has not been hacked. In fact, AAP's social media team used the image to hook people's attention to the biggest spike in coronavirus cases and slumping economy. On clicking on the image, the subtext of the image reads: "Now that we have your attention, we just want to let you know that India's unemployment has hit 45 years high, GDP growth rate is lowest in 40 years and Covid-19 cases have hit 83,000 in a day which is highest in the world."

The image created ripples as it came within 24 hours of account Prime Minister Narendra Modi's website getting hacked.
