Srinagar: Member of Parliament and Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on Monday accused the members of party’s Information and Technology (IT) cell of running a campaign against him using fake tweets and sought the sacking of “Malvia for running a riot with filth.”
The BJP leader warned that if his “angered followers” make counter personal attacks, then he cannot be held responsible just as the BJP cannot be held responsible for “the rogue IT cell of the party.”
The BJP IT cell has gone rogue. Some of its members are putting out fake ID tweets to make personal attacks on me. If my angered followers make counter personal attacks I cannot be held resonsible just as BJP cannot be held respinsible for the rogue IT cell of the party

“The BJP IT cell has gone rogue. Some of its members are putting out fake ID tweets to make personal attacks on me. If my angered followers make counter personal attacks I cannot be held responsible just as BJP cannot be held responsible for the rogue IT cell of the party,” Swamy tweeted.
As soon as he shared a tweet, a user called on him to “ignore” the “attacks”, to which Swamy said that the BJP should sack the IT cell members.

“I am ignoring but BJP must sack them. One Malaviya (sic) character is running riot with filth. We are a party of maryada purushottam not of Ravan or Dushasan,” he tweeted.
Swamy also retweeted a number of posts from Twitter posts mocking Malviya and urging BJP president J P Nadda to address the situation.
In February this year, the Rajya Sabha MP had termed the Goods and Services Tax as the ‘biggest madness of the 21st century’ and asked Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi to invest in agriculture to give more impetus to the economy.
