Sir please also tell us how do we deal with these followers of yours who celebrate your victory by threatening my daughter with messages like this for me being your dissenter." Many had reacted to Anurag Kashyap's tweet where he had tagged the Prime Minister. He also had a Twitter scuffle with Ashoke Pandit.

Thank you so much for the amazing support and starting the process .Thank you @Dev_Fadnavis and thank you @narendramodi Sir. As a father I am more secure now ."
