Topic Description:

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was on Sunday trolled and abused on Twitter over a controversy involving the issuance of passport to an inter-faith couple. Last week, a Passport Seva Kendra official, Vikas Mishra, in Lucknow was transferred after the inter-faith couple alleged that he humiliated them when they went to the office with their passport applications. According to the couple, he asked the husband to convert to Hinduism and pulled up the wife for marrying a Muslim. A section of social media attacked Swaraj and the ministry for taking action against Mishra, claiming that he was just doing his duty. The external affairs minister is not the only one to face the brunt of twitterati. Several others to in the recent past have been subjected to massive trolling; notable among them being Priyanka Chopra for her series ‘Quantico’ and Swara Bhaskar for the movie ‘Veere Di Wedding’. On this edition of ‘The Big Picture’ we take a closer look at the trolling issue on social media and how to deal with it.
