Thiruvananthapuram: Congress MP and former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor is very active on Twitter. His tweets always make controversies and are always in the news. Something similar has happened this time too, but this time he made a mistake. Shashi Tharoor shared a photo of former Prime Minister Nehru and Indira Gandhi on Twitter and wrote, "Nehru and Indira Gandhi in 1954 in America. These enthusiastic people look at the inundation of the American people. All this without PR campaigns, NRI crowd management, and heavy media coverage".

Actually, Shashi Tharoor was trying to tell that the popularity of Indian PMs abroad is not new. But after sharing this picture, many people said in the comment that this picture is neither of 1954 nor of the US. The Twitter handle @IndiaHistorypic wrote that this photo is from 1956 and belongs to Moscow, the capital of Russia.

After some time, Tharoor realized his mistake. Tharoor wrote in a tweet that, "I am told that this picture is from Russia, not America. Even if this is the case, then it does not prove wrong that the former Prime Ministers of India enjoyed popularity abroad. When PM Narendra Modi is awarded, it is awarded to the representative of India, this honour is for India".
