Interfaith passport issue: Sushma Swaraj 'likes' negative tweets coming her way
Handling the trolls gracefully, External Affairs Minister (EAM) Sushma Swaraj, who returned to India on Saturday following her week-long visit to four European nations, has "liked" and retweeted negative tweets that came her way over interfaith passport issue.
"I was out of India from 17th to 23rd June 2018. I do not know what happened in my absence. However, I am honoured with some tweets. I am sharing them with you. So I have liked them (sic)," she tweeted on Sunday.

The two tweets that Sushma was referring to were also shared by her on her Twitter handle.
"She is almost dead woman as she runs on only one kidney (borrowed from some one else ) and any time that can stop working," tweeted one of the users.

She also faced massive backlash on her Facebook page from her own BJP supporters, some of whom even demanded her removal from the union cabinet for being "too secular".
