Former minister Arun Shourie said he and his specially-abled have been viciously abused by BJP trolls for criticising Modi government.
Arun Shourie, once an ardent supporter of Modi, has transformed into his fierce critic.
Taking part in a discussion on NDTV Arun Shourie said after he came out against the PM, he has had to face abusive tweets, which also targeted his son, who suffers from cerebral palsy.
He recalled a tweet which stated - 'Iska mental son hai, woh aur bhi mental banega.'
He also noted that PM Modi was following the “fools” who were heaping abuse on him.
BJP leader Vinay Sahasrabuddhe condemned the abuse and said Modi had cautioned them to show restraint.
Modi had met 150 BJP’s social media activists in July and interacted with them. Arun Shourie alleged that some of his abusers came from this elite group.
