Sushma Swaraj reacts angrily to Twitter insinuation
New Delhi, June 17: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday reacted angrily to a tweet suggesting she took favours to get her daughter a seat in a medical college through the northeast quota.
"My daughter is a barrister and Oxford graduate. What you say in absolutely false," she replied to the tweet.
The twitter handle 'Soch @pakoed' had insinuated that "Sushma is no stranger to taking and giving favours! Her daughter studied through NorthEast quota in medical college."
Twitterati immediately reacted, wondering at Sushma's impulsive response to a stray tweet. The handle @pakoed was deleted, though its tweet was retweeted by others.
Sushma's twitter supporters urged her not to be hassled by a "dog that barks" and keep up her good work.
On Monday too, Sushma appears to have lost her cool, targeting a senior journalist of a news channel that was reporting on the Lalit Modi episode. "Look who is preaching propriety - of all the persons Navika Kumar!" she posted.
Sushma's daughter Bansuri is a lawyer, who is reported to have appeared in passport cancellation matters relating to former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi before the court.
