The Editors Guild of India has noted with deep dismay and concern the deplorable act of Amit Malviya, the head of the Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s Information Technology cell, in which he conducted an offensive, McCarthyist social media \u2018poll\u2019 on noted journalist Rajdeep Sardesai.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The poll on Twitter was not only tasteless, but it also questioned the integrity and patriotism of Mr Sardesai, who is a journalist of standing and a former President of the Editors Guild of India.<\/p>\n

The Twitter poll by a national head of the BJP also raises questions on the party\u2019s commitment to healthy debate and dissent without allowing disagreement to degenerate into abuse. The Guild urges Mr Malviya to immediately withdraw the so-called Twitter poll, and the BJP to caution him strongly.<\/p>\n
