#IStandwithSushmaSwaraj top trends amid Lalit Modi row
New Delhi, June 14
The twitterati came out in
support of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj under the hashtag
#IStandwithSushmaSwaraj, amid a row over her having helped former IPL
chief Lalit Modi with travel documents in July last year for treatment
of his cancer-afflicted wife.
"SushmaSwaraj Madam you are doing a
great job & keep up the momentum. we whole heartedly support you.
Don't bother abt meaningless criticisms," wrote one supporter on
Twitter.
"It is clearly a hit job on @SushmaSwaraj ! Just because
she was the best performing BJP Minister? #IstandwithSushmaSwaraj", was
a particularly popular tweet.
"SushmaSwaraj Just ignore #presstitutes. We are with u mam.#IstandWithSushmaSwaraj," wrote another.
"SushmaSwaraj
how many people know the mental state of Cancer patients family
members? U r doing good job as EAM. #IStandWithSushmaSwaraj," wrote
another.
One post was tongue-in-cheek: "If Sushma Swaraj helps
Dawood Ibrahim on 'humanitarian grounds' for any treatment of his
relatives, #IStandWithSushmaSwaraj."
In counter, the hashtag #SushmaMustResign was also doing the rounds.
One
post went: "Meanwhile Asaram bhakts have approached Sushma Swaraj to
help Asaram get bail on humanitarian grounds. #SushmaMustResign."
