NEW DELHI: More than forty percent of the people who participated in an ongoing online poll conducted by external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj 'endorsed' the hate-filled, abusive comments directed at her, days after her ministry granted passport to an interfaith couple.Late on Saturday night, Swaraj sought public opinion on the misogynist and personal attacks she was being subjected to on social media for the last few days by organizing a Twitter poll."Friends: I have liked some tweets. This is happening for the last few days. Do you approve of such tweets? Please RT," she tweeted.Though a majority (58%) of the 94,000 people (at the time of writing this report) disapproved of the comments attacking the minister; a substantial number of the online voters said 'yes' to Swaraj's question. (The poll is schedule to end by 8 PM today.)Here is a look at couple of the tweets, the external affairs minister was referring to --The poll was organized by Swaraj after she became a victim of incessant abuse and harassment by online users who believed that her ministry's decision to grant a passport to the interfaith couple amounted to 'minority appeasement".Even her husband wasn't spared. On Saturday, Swaraj Kaushal tweeted a screenshot of tweet asking him to "teach" the minister "not to do Muslim appeasement". Later today, Kaushal responded to the tweet by sharing details of a personal incident from 1993."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," he added.This comes days after Swaraj was trolled and abused on Twitter over a controversy involving the issuance of passport to an interfaith couple.A Passport Seva Kendra official, Vikas Mishra, in Lucknow was transferred after the interfaith couple alleged that he humiliated the couple when they went to the office with their passport applications recently.According to the couple, Mishra asked the husband to convert to Hinduism and pulled up the wife for marrying a Muslim.A section of social media had attacked Swaraj and the ministry for taking action against Mishra, claiming that he was just doing his duty.The minister had retweeted some of the tweets that were even abusive and communal in nature.Asked whether the Ministry of External Affairs is contemplating taking any action against the trolls, Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar had said, "The EAM (External Affairs Minister) has responded to those malicious tweets and the trolling which she was subjected to in her own way and in a manner which she deemed fit. I don't think I have anything further to add on that."The attack on Swaraj was condemned unequivocally political leaders and groups, including former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti."Horrified by the vicious trolling Sushma Swaraj ji has been subjected to. Absolutely outrageous! If our own Minister of External Affairs is not spared, what hope is there for any other woman?" the PDP leaders tweeted on .
