Expansion
Twitter has restored Rahul Gandhi’s account amid a tussle with Congress. Twitter took this step on Saturday after temporarily suspending the account for a week. In fact, just a few days ago, Twitter had called a violation of the rules for sharing the picture of the kin of a Dalit girl in the rape and murder case of Delhi. After this, Twitter had closed the Twitter accounts of the party and many senior leaders including Rahul.
The Twitter handle of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi was locked last Saturday. Rahul had targeted Twitter by releasing a video statement on Friday, just a day before it was unlocked. Rahul had said that as a company, Twitter is doing the work of deciding the politics of the country, which is an attack on the democratic structure. He had said that this is not just a matter of shutting down my voice, it is a matter of silencing crores of people.
Accounts of other leaders also unlocked
According to sources, the Twitter accounts of some party leaders who shared the same pictures have also been restored. A party functionary said that Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter account has been unlocked. Apart from him, the accounts of some other Congress leaders have also been restored. Let us tell you that on Friday, Twitter transferred its India head Manish Maheshwari to America. Rahul Gandhi and the Congress had accused Twitter of acting under pressure from the government.
Accused of doing politics on micro blogging site
Madhya Pradesh Congress President Kamal Nath on Saturday accused the micro-blogging site of doing politics in the matter. He said that now Twitter has also entered politics. Talking to reporters in Chhindwara, he said that shutting down the Twitter account in this way is illegal and unjust. He said the time would come when this micro-blogging site would have to give an explanation for its act.
