Trolled Viciously for Criticising Gandhis: Pranab Mukherjee's Daughter Writes An Open Letter to Rahul

Sharmistha Mukherjee, daughter of former President Pranab Mukherjee, has written a letter to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi complaining that both she and her late father have been subjected to sustained trolling by Mr. Gandhi’s supporters on social media after she wrote a book based on her father’s memoirs.

In a letter posted on X, formerly Twitter, Ms. Mukherjee said she had been subject to vicious trolling, “sometimes using the nastiest language.” She also identified one social media user in particular, who she adds is “followed by several senior Congress leaders...”

The user, she wrote, “abused my father, Pranab Mukherjee and me in such vile language I feel nausea even to repeat it.”
