Shashi Tharoor, Lalit Modi revive old war on Twitter

Kochi: After the Sreesanth-Harbhajan controversy, old foes, former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi and minister Shashi Tharoor revived their rivalry on Twitter, with the former harshly criticising the latter.
The architect of the IPL, Lalit Modi in reply to one of his follower’s tweets, called Tharoor “Thief. Caught. Resigned. But rehabilitated (sic).”
When a follower alerted Tharoor to Modi’s tweet, Tharoor sprang to action by tweeting, “Yes, I could sue LalitKModi but the disgraced fugitive from justice would have 2 have the courage to return to face the courts.”
This seemed to spur Modi and he posted several tweets against Tharoor, telling him not to hide behind government machinery. “Come and fight clean. Let’s see how clean you are,” he tweeted.
In a subsequent tweet, Modi claimed, “It was his threat to me that morning, of saying if I discussed Sunanda Pushkar issue, he will have me raided.”
Modi also challenged Tharoor to take him to court. “At least he can officially disclose all the agreements about what he was made to resign over.”
Modi posted another tweet pointing to the former’s resignation, “If we all get scared of crooked ministers like shashitharoor, we are doomed. We all know he was made to admit in Parliament. Rest is history.”
