‘Hack Alert!’ By AAP Following Modi's Twitter Account Breach? Wait.. There’s More To It!

The 'Hacked' alert drives the attention of the Indians at more worrisome situations happening in India at the moment.

Hours after the Twitter account of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personal website was hacked on Thursday morning, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) posted an image on the micro-blogging site that read "Hacked" in bold red letters. However, the Arvind Kejriwal-led party via this post did not mean to say that even AAP's account has been hacked neither did the post was aimed at raising the awareness about cyber security alarm. Instead, the 'Hacked' alert drives the attention of the Indians at more worrisome situations happening in India at the moment. As one clicks the posted image, one can see the text which 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 83000 in a day which is highest in the world."

Through the post, the AAP aimed to once again highlight the increasing COVD-19 cases in India as the country recorded the highest surge of 83,883 corona positive cases in the last 24 hours. The country's overall tally has mounted to 38,53,406, while the death toll climbed to 67,376 as 1,043 people succumbed to the disease in a single day, according to the data provided by the Health Ministry. The total number of active corona positive cases in the country stands at 8,155,38 while 2,970,492 patients have recovered from the virus. The national Covid-19 recovery rate has risen to 77.09 percent. Th Kejriwal party also brought to notice country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) that contracted by 23.9% in April-June. While on one hand the country strives to fight back the Coronavirus pandemic, India has faced another jolt in the face upon realising that country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the first quarter of 2020-21 contracted 23.9 per cent. The readings revealed by the National Statistical Office (NSO) of Government of India on Monday showed that GDP at Constant (2011-12) Prices in Q1 of 2020-21 is estimated at Rs 26.90 lakh crore, as against Rs 35.35 lakh crore in Q1 of 2019-20.
