The daughter of former President Pranab Mukherjee, Sharmishtha Mukherjee, a former Congress leader, wrote to Rahul Gandhi on Friday, pointing out “vicious and continuous trolling by your supporters” in response to her new book’s publication and remarks she made last week regarding his capacity to guide the party into the Lok Sabha election.
In a two-page letter posted on X, Ms Mukherjee has identified one social media user in particular – “Naveen Shahi, having a X handle of @Naveen_Kr_Shahi, who is followed by several senior Congress leaders…”
“Utterly shocked, I brought it to the notice of Jairam Ramesh, Supriya Shrinate, and even you by tagging all of you (on X). However, at the time of writing this letter, I neither got any reaction nor any action seems to have been taken against the person,” Ms Mukherjee wrote.
Ms Mukherjee, over the course of the day, made multiple posts on X with screen shots of comments by Shahi and others, in posts that also tagged Ms Shrinate, who is the Congress’ National Spokesperson.
