Congress stages protest against suspension of Rahul Gandhi's Twitter account

NEW DELHI: The Congress frontal organizations — NSUI, Youth Congress and Mahila Congress staged protests on Monday against suspension of Rahul Gandhi's Twitter account.

The key demand of the protest was the continuation and resumption of Rahul Gandhi's account.

"At the times when people need support from government in various economic and social forms the Modi government instead of working and improving their poor management techniques is using cheap stunts against the opposition," alleged NSUI President Neeraj Kundan.

The Youth Congress said that the Modi government is conspiring to suppress the voice demanding sympathy and justice for the rape victim.

"Modi ji will not be able to suppress the voice of justice for the daughter by intimidating Twitter, or by blocking the account of Shri Rahul Gandhi ji."

He said, the British government used to be very afraid of the unity of India, now someone else has taken their place. Let the BJP government understand that there is nothing to fear in fighting for the country, so we will fight and keep fighting. The one who fights for daughters will sting in the eyes of this government," said B.V. Srinivas, Youth Congress president.

The Mahila Congress too protested on the issue.

The Twitter account of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi was blocked on Saturday, after the NCPCR flagged the issue, of his photos with the victim's parents, on the social media platform. (IANS)
