BJP attacks Sen with daughter's nude picture

After a BJP Member of Parliament demanded that Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen be stripped of Bharat Ratna, the department of BJP’s cyber army has taken the attack on veteran economist to an unprecedented low. In a Facebook page claiming to be that of Gujarat unit of BJP, a semi-nude picture of Nandana Sen was posted, juxtaposed with another picture with the lady with her father Amartya Sen.

In an attack on Sen, the accompanying message said: “Mr Amartya Sen, first manage your home and daughter, which would be enough for you. There are plenty of Indian citizens to decide upon country and Modi in India. We do not need advice from a senile foreign national. Shame, you can’t manage your daughter and talk of Modi.”

Gujarat BJP was quick to distance itself from the page. “This is not our official page,” said  Harshad Patel, the media cell convenor of Gujarat BJP. Similar stand was also taken by Parag Seth, convenor of Gujarat BJP Communication Cell.  “Our official page address is  facebook.com/ BJPGujaratofficialpage,” Patel pointed out.
