With over 56,000 tweets, #ISupportPriyankaSharma campaign starts trending on Twitter after a police complaint against Priyanka Sharma, a Bharatiya Janata Youth Morcha (BJYM) worker, was filed on May 10 for allegedly posting a photo-shopped image of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banejee on her Facebook handle. The controversial image was a meme that had Mamata Banerjee's face imposed on Priyanka Chopra's recent Met Gala look which made the overall look funny.

One user wrote: "Freedom of Expression...
#ISupportPriyankaSharma" while the other wrote: "Champions of Freedom of Expression goes in hibernation after arrest of #ISupportPriyankaSharma by fascist @MamataOfficial, who earlier raised objection on #JaiShriRam & who refuse to accept Modi as PM. No editorials, no prime time frm pseudos like @BDUTT, @ravishndtv etc. @BJYM".

Here are some reaction from the Netizens -
