The official website of India's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) went offline on Tuesday after hackers reportedly defaced the site.

According to BBC, no hacker group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, while party officials are yet to confirm the report.

Screenshots of the homepage of the BJP's website have been doing rounds on social media showing a meme in which German Chancellor Angela Merkel walks past Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he extends his hand, expecting her to shake it.

While access to the site still remains restricted, a message from the website admin said it will be back up soon.

“We’ll be back soon! Sorry for the inconvenience but we’re performing some maintenance at the moment. we’ll be back online shortly!” the message read.
