Sushma is right, trolls wrong: Rajnath Singh
Eyebrows were raised as none of the BJP heavyweights or ministers came to the defence of Ms Swaraj.
New Delhi: The government on Monday finally broke its silence over trolling of external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj with home minister Rajnath Singh saying “trolling of Sushma Swaraj is wrong”.
Eyebrows were raised as none of the BJP heavyweights or ministers came to the defence of Ms Swaraj, who was being subjected to a torrent of online hate ever since the ministry of external affairs had expeditiously granted a passport to a Hindu-Muslim couple and transferred an official for allegedly harassing them.
Talking to the media on Monday, Mr Singh said, “In my opinion it is wrong.” Incidentally, Mr Singh is the only minister to have come out in support of Ms Swaraj.
Ms Swaraj had conducted a poll on Twitter asking users wh-ether they “approved” of such trolling to which 43 per cent said yes while 57 per cent responded with a no.
