New Delhi: Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj’s Husband Swaraj Kaushal has shown the mirror to a Twitter troll by retweeting the screenshot of an abusive post, which the man had deleted that said the union minister should be thrashed.
“Friends, please see this,” Swaraj Kaushal tweeted as he tackled the troll, whose Twitter profile mentions the name Mukesh Gupta with “IIT Delhi” in the handle.

“who else can teach @SushmaSwaraj a lesson or two,” said the troll whose profile says he’s a B.Tech.
The attack on Twitter comes five days after Sushma Swaraj was abused on Twitter after passports were issued to an inter-faith couple from Uttar Pradesh.
Your words have given us unbearable pain. Just to share with you, my mother died of cancer in 1993. Sushma was an MP and a former Education Minister. She lived in the hospital for a year. She refused to engage a medical attendant and attended on my dying mother personally. /1 https://t.co/b4iwIUx0SA

Such was her devotion to the family. As per my father's wish, she lit my father's pyre. We adore her. Please do not use such words for her. We are first generation in law and politics. We pray for nothing more than her life. Pls convey my profound regards to your wife. /2

The attacks on social media on the couple were condemned by Twitter users, with several telling Mukesh Gupta to apologise. A Twitter user, Mehek, wrote: “And this dangerous mindset guy has studied in IIT. Even education can’t cure such people.”
