External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday continued her fight against the Sangh Parivar’s troll army and finally got some ammo after her ministerial colleague Nitin Gadkari and BJP Rajya Sabha member Subramanian Swamy came out in her support. On Monday, Union home minister Rajnath Singh had disapproved of the social media attack on Swaraj. No other senior BJP leader has come out yet in Swaraj’s support. Second-rung RSS leaders have taken to attacking her on the social media. On Tuesday, the Union home ministry asked Mumbai Police to register a case, identify the person and take legal action against the owner of the social media account who had threatened Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi. On her part, Swaraj blocked a popular right wing troll. Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan condemned the “shameful trolling campaign” against Swaraj. Swamy said none should cross ‘maryada’, or decorum, in their criticism.
